Hi, I started responding to Williams question about the Daresbury data then got distracted by a new computer showing up at my office. (Yay!) In the interim, lots of people answered William's question. In the short term, as was said, you will need to strip out that last line and convert the encoder readings to energy. The encoder-to-energy conversion is on my list of things to do -- now I have a reason to do it! Then Matt said:
Thanks for that, I shall give that a go. Can Ifeffit/athena combine two data sets and average them?
Absolutely. Athena calls this 'Merge'. Read in two or more data sets, mark them by clicking the little purple box, and then pick 'merge marked data in mu(E)' from the Merge menu. And that's just the beginning of how complicated it can get!
Hah! Indeed! I should point out that Athena has extensive documentation built right in. In the Help menu, there is a Document entry. The document is split into single-topic chunks. It's also on the web (in ugly but serviceable HTML) at http://leonardo.phys.washington.edu/~ravel/software/exafs/docs.html B -- Bruce Ravel ----------------------------------- ravel@phys.washington.edu Code 6134, Building 3, Room 405 Naval Research Laboratory phone: (1) 202 767 2268 Washington DC 20375, USA fax: (1) 202 767 4642 NRL Synchrotron Radiation Consortium (NRL-SRC) Beamlines X11a, X11b, X23b National Synchrotron Light Source Brookhaven National Laboratory, Upton, NY 11973 My homepage: http://feff.phys.washington.edu/~ravel EXAFS software: http://feff.phys.washington.edu/~ravel/software/exafs/
