Re: [Ifeffit] Reply

Mingliang, When I opened the same file from your picture in Sixpack, I get the same error about the filename characters, but when I click ok to acknowledge the error, I get the import dialogue and it appears that I would be able to import the data anyway (and I did not get the error in background function information that looks like a Python error and suggests things are missing). As for the Grnd.exe problem, it sounds like something is getting moved around or not being copied to your computer during the installation, and unfortunately I can't help you with that other than to suggest a reinstall. wish I could be more help, but this is as far as I can go -Richard 2009/11/12 康明亮

Dear Richard, Acctually, I opened one of the decompression files from the attached "data process.rar" with Sixpack, then I encountered the problem that *WARNING! Filename contain characters not compatible with IFEFFIT.* Here, I have snapped each step and attached in the enclosure. Hope I have answer these questions. Thank you! Best regards Mingliang

Are you trying to open the "data process.rar" file (the very same file you sent to Matt) with Sixpack? Athena or Sixpack can not do that, you must unpack the file to access the individual files it contains.

To solve the "*Cann't execute Grnd.exe to open the graphics window"* problem, follow the suggestions from Matt posted below (which is the initial response you recieved from your very first post - read the last sentence very closely, that is the question you have yet to answer; without these answers no one can help you):

Some suggestions: - Try clicking on "runner.exe" in the Ifeffit bin folder. A simple selection box should pop up and you should be able to choose Athena, Artemis, etc. - Trying clicking on GrWnd.exe in the Ifeffit bin folder. A window should pop up. - The installation was not complete, or got moved somehow. Reinstalling might help. If the solution isn't obvious from those, let us know what happened for each of these steps.

Dear Richard, Thanks for your reply. To be honest, I don't know what question she/he has asked. As I have said , I have followed the procedure which she/he suggested. But, I still can't import the raw data for processing. I double clicked* runner.exe*, selected *Sixpack*, entered to the *Samview* interface, clicked *Add file *, and selected a file from the attached, it prompted* WARNING! Filename contain characters not compatible with IFEFFIT.* The* *other function like *Background Removal *is the same case. That's the problem I encountered. As I selected Athena, it prompted: *Cann't execute Grnd.exe to open the graphics window. *I have re-installed the programme, but it still won't work. Since you have said there's nothing wrong with the data, * *I really don't know how to solve this problem. Best regards Mingliang

Sorry for the trouble. It's a little hard to tell what's gone wrong, but here are some hints: The icon to run athena (and others) simply runs the program "runner.exe" in the Ifeffit "bin" folder (usually C:\Program Files\Ifeffit\bin). This program sets the path and other environmental variables so that GrWnd.exe can be run. Some suggestions: - Try clicking on "runner.exe" in the Ifeffit bin folder. A simple selection box should pop up and you should be able to choose Athena, Artemis, etc. - Trying clicking on GrWnd.exe in the Ifeffit bin folder. A window should pop up. - The installation was not complete, or got moved somehow. Reinstalling might help. If the solution isn't obvious from those, let us know what happened for each of these steps.

Mingliang,

There's nothing wrong with the data (I opened one of the files), so at this point I suggest you reinstall IFEFFIT, or answer Matt's questions in the hope of understanding and solving your problem (without the re-install).

I am not mean you need to help me to process them, I just don't know why these data can't open in Sixpack or other programm. Is there any problem with the raw data? Wish to obtain guidance from you.

I have not looked at the data you sent. Did you expect I would? You have not answered to my original questions. At this point, I want you to tell me why do you keep posting questions to this list when you have not answered the questions in my original reply?

Explain this, then answer the original questions, and then we may be able to start helping you. We will not analyze your data, and we cannot help you unless you help us understand what does and does not work.
