hephaestus
by Bruce Ravel 02 Nov '05

02 Nov '05

Hi all, Today, in a conversation that Carlo, Matt, and I have been having, Matt said the following: > I know some beamlines (PNC-CAT, for example) don't install > Ifeffit/hephaestus on data collection machines because it uses too > much memory (~40Mb+ on Win32). In fact, the only thing for which hephaestus uses Ifeffit is the f'/f" utility. None of the other tools in hephaestus make use of ifeffit in any way. Would there be some interest in a "hephaestus-lite"? That is, a version of hephaestus that does not include the f'/f" utility. Such a thing would have a much smaller footprint on the computer -- just whatever the perl interpreter requires, maybe 4 or 5 meg. If enough people express inetrest, I can inlcude thas in the distribution. I can even make a stand-alone distribution that installs only hephaestus-lite and the external files it needs to do its thing. That would be a much smaller beast (both in disk space and memory footprints) than the full ifeffit install.

Hi people, I fitted several supported platinum based catalysts by Artemis. I obtained good R-factors < 0.02 but stranges values of SO2 (<0.30) and I do not know if these low values of SO2 are related with a low coordination number for Pt. I know that particle sizes of these catalysts are very small and then the coordination number is smaller than 12. Thank you very much. JA

Bruce, thank you for the solutions. Solution 2 seems to have fixed the problem. I now look forward to learning to run the software.

The first version of the runner did not play well without a reliable internet connection. It would seem you have been bitten by this problem. Possible solution #1: If, in fact, you were on a computer with out an internet connection (either by design or because it was temporarily down), make sure the computer is connected and try again. Possible solution #2: Grab this file: http://cars9.uchicago.edu/ifeffit/updates/iff_001.zip and unpack it by hand in C:\Program File\Ifeffit\ (or wherever you installed the whole ifeffit package). That file is the first updater package. It updates the runner as well as Athena, Artemis, and a bunch of documents and example. For more info on how the runner works and how updates happen, see the wiki: http://cars9.uchicago.edu/iffwiki/IfeffitOnWindows/RunnerProgram HTH, B -- Bruce Ravel ---------------------------------------------- bravel(a)anl.gov Molecular Environmental Science Group, Building 203, Room E-165 MRCAT, Sector 10, Advance Photon Source, Building 433, Room B007 Argonne National Laboratory phone and voice mail: (1) 630 252 5033 Argonne IL 60439, USA fax: (1) 630 252 9793 My homepage: http://cars9.uchicago.edu/~ravel EXAFS software: http://cars9.uchicago.edu/~ravel/software/exafs/ _______________________________________________ Ifeffit mailing list Ifeffit(a)millenia.cars.aps.anl.gov http://millenia.cars.aps.anl.gov/mailman/listinfo/ifeffit

Problems with Windows XP Installation.
by Brewer, Luke N 21 Oct '05

21 Oct '05

Hello All- I have just downloaded and installed the ifeffit.1.2.8.exe package for Windows XP from a mirror to sourceforge. The installation appeared to run just fine. I read the note on website about using the runner.exe instead of the individual executable files. When I click on the runner.exe, a window asks me what application I would like to run (Athena, Artemis, etc.). The window disappears, and nothing happens for about a minute after which an error window appears asking me to check the runner.exe.log. The last line of each log entry reads "timeoutsocket.Timeout: Attempted connect to ('164.54.160.111', 80) timed out." I get the same error each time I try to run the software, regardless of which application I select. Any advice? I would be happy to forward the runner.exe.log to anyone who can/is willing to help. Thanks. Luke. Luke N. Brewer, Ph.D. Sandia National Laboratory Materials Characterization Dept.

L2 vs. L3 edge comparisons
by McCready, Alistair 20 Oct '05

20 Oct '05

OK, a theoretical question whose answer may be straight-forward (and I will probably ridiculed for such a simple question)!! If you analyse, for example, the Pb L3 edge of 2 minerals and you then analyse the Pb L2 edge of the same 2 minerals, will the difference between the edges of 2 minerals be the same, irrespective of the edge you use?

by Bruce Ravel 14 Oct '05

14 Oct '05

Hi folks! The new Tip of the Week is about automated replotting in Athena. http://cars9.uchicago.edu/iffwiki/HoraeTipOfTheWeek I have also released version 056 of the source code tarball, which is available at my web site and at SourceForge. A description of what's new in Athena and Artemis is at http://cars9.uchicago.edu/iffwiki/HoraeVersion056 The major new features are both in Athena: session defaults and improvements to linear combination fitting. Please read the release notes for a complete description of these new features. An updater for windows users should be available within a few days. Unix and Mac OSX users should download and install the new source tarball.
