Problem installing Demeter
by Amy Shober 30 May '26

30 May '26

Hi all, I had to have my IT folks completely wipe my computer. They updated me to Windows 11 enterprise edition. I previously had Demeter installed so that I could use Athena. We were able to download the Demeter Version 0.9.26 installation package. However, it did not actually install the programs on my computer. And in the folder DemeterPerl, the only application I can launch is "unisn000". I see an icon for Demeter (ICO file) but when I click it, I only see a little thumbnail image. I'm guessing this is an icon file. Can someone help? Amy -- Amy L.

Athena import issue: apparent change in energy-point spacing
by Langston, Luther 25 May '26

25 May '26

Dear Ifeffit mailing list, I am seeing an unexpected difference between a raw XAS data file plotted in Origin and the same file imported into Athena. The same .txt file appears to have the expected energy step size when plotted directly in Origin, but appears much more coarsely sampled after import into Athena. I have attached screenshots comparing the two plots. Is there an import setting, display setting, or recent behavior change that could cause Athena to show fewer/coarser points than are present in the raw data file? I can send the raw .txt file and/or Athena project file if needed. Current details: * Athena/Demeter version: 0.9.26 * Operating systems: Windows 11 x64 AND Windows 11 on ARM64 Thank you for your help. Best regards, Luther
