by Anatoly Frenkel 21 Aug '24

21 Aug '24

Hello, As a follow up on my previous "save the date" message, the dates of the Synchrotron Catalysis Consortium short course have been finalized (they changed from the previous dates in an attempt to resolve the conflict with other meetings). The final dates are: Nov. 6 (Wed) through Nov. 8 (Fri), 2024. The course will be held at Brookhaven National Laboratory. The course is in the final stage of approvals - after we have it officially approved I will send another update with the course agenda and registration details.

Athena .lcf export file
by Miranda Vu 09 Aug '24

09 Aug '24

Hello, I think I may have found an issue in Athena regarding the LCF file export. I have been analyzing data using the LCF section of Athena. Everything looks good on the plot within Athena, but my exported file has my weighted components incorrectly labelled. For example, I have the weighted components in Athena correctly displayed here: [cid:image002.jpg@01DAEA68.340F5790] And an Excel plot of the .lcf export file here where the 3 standards are incorrectly labelled: [cid:image004.png@01DAEA68.340F5790] Has anybody else noticed this or found a solution? I have tried closing and re-opening the file, starting up new athena files, and re-ordering the standards with no luck. Thanks, Miranda

Problem with XRF mapviewer post-update
by Sarah Bowie 02 Aug '24

02 Aug '24

Hi all, Apologies if this has already been asked elsewhere. I have previously been using XRF mapviewer with no issues on my MacBook pro (fully updated). Larch recently prompted me to update to the newest version, and following this, XRF mapviewer seems to be unable to open (tries and then immediately closes without any window ever opening). Oddly, all other programs in the Larch folder still work as normal. I've tried removing Larch, redownloading and reinstalling, and still have the same issue. Any suggestions would be much appreciated - I'm definitely regretting the update currently! I was also curious if there's somewhere I could just download an older Larch version? Thanks in advance, Sarah Bowie PhD student School of Environment, Geography and Geoscience University of Portsmouth, UK
