path averaging in Artemis
by Simon Cassidy 19 Sep '12

19 Sep '12

Dear Bruce, I've run into a problem with the new artemis' path finder. When running the attached feff.inp file in atoms, two separate paths are merged together. The two paths it is merging are Se-Fe2 (N=4, reff=4.456) and Se-Fe3 (N=8, reff=4.465) which it gives as (N=12, reff=4.4621). The same problem occurs for these paths when starting with the Fe core. The same feff.inp file generates the right path list when run in the old version of artemis. Please could you take a look at this? Many thanks, Simon

Mac OS X Mountain Lion iXAFS
by Kyler Carroll 19 Sep '12

19 Sep '12

Hello, I havent seen a post yet pertaining to this issue so I thought I would share and perhaps see if there are solutions to my problem. I have recently upgraded my mac to run the new OS X Mountain Lion and in the process noticed that apple no longer supports or includes X11. They instead have moved to XQuartz http://xquartz.macosforge.org. I downloaded the new XQuartz to my computer and obviously still cannot access iXAFS. I was wondering if someone could offer some advice for me so that I can still run iXAFS on my macbook (Macbook pro OS X version 10.8, 2.3 GHz intel core i5). Thank you, Kyler J. Carroll, Ph.D. Assistant Project Scientist Department of NanoEngineering University of California, San Diego

Demeter will not start without admin permissions
by Jason Gaudet 17 Sep '12

17 Sep '12

Hi all, I came across another Demeter startup issue that seems different from the mingw and perl conflicts previously discussed, and I'm pretty stumped. System: Demeter 0.9.10 on Windows 7 32bit Issue: All Demeter apps (dathena.bat, dartemis.bat, etc.) will no longer run as a user. Apps will only run when opened as an administrator. Trying to open as a user causes cmd window and splash screen to pop up and instantly disappear. No "compatibility mode" seems to help. The problem seemed to pop up sometime between August 2 and August 8, after upgrading to 0.9.10, but I downgraded to 0.9.0 and the problem persisted, so (likely) something changed in my Windows environment and not Bruce's software. The log: Can't load 'C:/strawberry/perl/site/lib/ auto/Ifeffit/Ifeffit.dll' for module Ifeffit: load_file:Invalid access to memory location at C:/strawberry/perl/lib/DynaLoader.pm line 200. at C:/strawberry/perl/site/lib/Demeter.pm line 36 Compilation failed in require at C:/strawberry/perl/site/lib/Demeter.pm line 36. BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at C:/strawberry/perl/site/lib/Demeter.pm line 36. Compilation failed in require at C:/strawberry/perl/site/lib/Demeter/UI/Athena.pm line 5. BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at C:/strawberry/perl/site/lib/Demeter/UI/Athena.pm line 5. Compilation failed in require at C:\strawberry\perl\site\bin\dathena.bat line 25. BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at C:\strawberry\perl\site\bin\dathena.bat line 25. I exchanged a few Emails with Bruce before realizing this is a bit more complex than I thought. We've thus figured out (I think) - Explicitly giving myself full permissions to C:/strawberry/perl/site/lib/auto/Ifeffit/ and %APPDATA%/demeter has no effect. - Although I have a cygwin version of perl, demeter is calling up the right one each time. Invoking perl with the full path in e.g. dathena.bat has no effect. I suspect the problem might not be in perl or any of Bruce's code, but in some behavior of ifeffit that was previously condoned by Windows but now requires elevated permissions. I understand ifeffit is written in fortran90 but I don't know if there's any aspect of it that might be affected by recent MS Visual C++ updates I've done on my laptop. (MS Visual C++ 2008 x86 9.0.30729.17 and MS Visual C++ 2010 x86 10.0.30319). I'm pretty sure MSVC2008 coincides with the time Demeter stopped working but it could just be a coincidence. There are also of course various security updates I can't easily sort through. I was hoping Matt might be able to point me in the right direction here; I don't know the inner workings of IFEFFIT and I might be far off track already. Thanks, Jason

Problem with Demeter Artemis 0.9.10
by Matt Frith 10 Sep '12

10 Sep '12

Hi All, I have come across an bug with Demeter 0.9.10. When I go to open an old format Artemis project file I will see, "Converting old-style project file to Demeter serialization" written in the progress bar, and then the program will quit without opening the file. The problem occurs on both 32 and 64bit Windows 7. I uninstalled the program and reinstalled Demeter 0.9.9 and there are no issues with 0.9.9. The dartemis.log contains: Can't locate object method "inp_is_feff8" via package "Demeter::Feff::External" at C:/strawberry/perl/site/lib/Demeter/Fit/Horae.pm line 110. I hope this is helpful. It seems to be similar to the problem posted by Riamundo, and I hope that I have not missed a previously posted solution. Attached is one of the project files that I have used. Sincerely, Matt Frith

Washington (ifeffit)

Dearcolleagues, I'm using the Ifeffit program command-line version 0.9c for win32 to analyze my data in the XAFS region. I did treatment at a data using ifeffit program , after making this adjustment i typed the following command: Ifeffit> save (my.save) Was saved a file with all parameters set. Then I typed the following command: Ifeffit> restore (my.save) Notonefilewasrestored. Whatcommands should I enter to retrieve this data set for use in another program like origin 6.0 professional. Sincerely yours: Washington

As we know that amplitude of peak decreases with increase in distance from central absorber. Can I compare the amplitude ratio of first two peaks for various states of same sample ??
