Hi Matt,
Thanks for your reply !
-
Sorry, and I don't mean to pick on you in particular, but just
to
-
emphasize Bruce's response. Did you really think your
question could
-
be answered with the data files?
Well, I suppose the data file were necessary to understood what kind of
problem I am seeing and if its really reproducible on some other PC, to be
called is as a problem.
That’s what I understood from Bruce´s message.
- DAthena tries to read any data file, but beamlines seem to be able to
write very odd data files, and
- it is inevitable that some raw data files will cause problems.
I fully understand that different beamlines will produce different type of
files depending on their preference. My message was to check if I can get some
help if I have this kind of data set !
- Well, what would be your guess at could be going on? What have you
- tried so far?
- I look at those files and two thing come to my mind: a) Column
1
- appears to be the highly useless point number. It seems
perfectly
- believable that DAthena might think this column is the energy column,
- and it appears to be in keV, not eV.
b) Columns 3 to 10 have 3
- significant digits each. Thus, without even trying to read the file,
- it's clear that 9 of the 14 columns are of no use. The
file also
- has an extra line at the end without data.
What I understood so far is dathena doesn’t have an problem to read a
single data file. It works like charm when I open files one by one and select
the energy units in eV.
The problem occurs during import of multiple files where I can choose
Energy unit to eV but its gets applied to only first file in import.
Having an Energy unit option in preprocessing tab could be useful ( its
just some wild thought ) so that same setting will be applied to all the files
imported.
Well in the end I can import files one by one but then I have hundreds of
data files, and that’s what made me to subscribe and mail to Ifeffit mailing
list to see if I can get any help.
Cheers
