Bruce, attached are some data files...

btw looking through Athena manual I did find lots of helpful instructions on import, but not specifically on how to import chi(k) files.  if you could let me know how to do it, that would be great!

Could I have a data file or two?  That way so I could try to walk through what you did.  I need to be able to reproduce the problem here in front of myself in order to have a hope of fixing it.

It is certainly true that Athena is not completely reliable noticing that chi(k) data is chi(k) data.  You certainly should make sure the data type is set correctly.

Thanks for taking the time to report the problem.

Hi Bruce,

thanks for your response..I think that my problem is in the
specification of energy unit and/or the numerator/denominator.  In the
project I sent, I imported the files specifying energy as "k" and
nothing for numerator/denominator.  The plotter would then display the
EXAFS as k2 weighted and I found that I couldn't change the plot display.

in a later attempt at importing data, I still specified energy as "k"
but then checked "chi" for the numerator. The result is still
strange...the data will be imported, but when I try to change
k-weighting and replot, I can't re-plot. I can plot the data in "R" or
"q" space, but can't ever go back to k...

anyway, here is the screen shot you requested.  The data are sixpack
generated, I would think totally compatible.

thanks for the help, andrea

    Andrea,

    Your project file is horribly, unrecoverably broken.  A project file
    in that state is unusual in the sense that I do not know how you got
    there and I do not know how to replicate it.

    To understand what went awry, I would have to know more about how
    you got to that point.  For starters, it would help to see the data
    that you imported into Athena to begin with.  A screenshot of the
    state of the column selection dialog right before clicking the OK
    button would probably help also.  I'll probably have more questions
    after that.

    Bottom line, you found a neat, new (to me) way of breaking my
    program. Clearly the work of an experienced EXAFS person!! :P

        Hello all,

        I am an experienced EXAFS person, but not having a lot of luck
        using Athena.

        I am trying to set up an Athena project for linear combo fitting.

        I can get the data + model compounds imported, and I can save a
        project
        file.  However, after saving and closing the file, the next time
        I try
        to open, I am asked to re-import the data from the project file
        (I think
        this is a normal part of Athena)...

        ...but when I try to select importing as chi(k) instead of u(E),
        I get
        the following message


    This is certainly not related to the problem with the project file,
    but I want to point out that the box in the project selection dialog
    is labelled "Plot as", not "Import as".  Its purpose is to display
    the data in different ways to help you decide what data you might
    want to import.  Data is always imported from a project file in the
    same manner as it was imported from the raw data file regardless of
    how you choose to plot it before clicking the import selection button.

        after "ok-ing" this message away, I can't get any farther.
        Importing
        the data as u(E) doesn't give the appropriate results.

        I am also attaching the aforementioned project file.

        thanks for any help with this, andrea
