So your goal is to plot If/I0 versus time for a given energy in the XANES. Are you exporting normalised XANES or just If/I0?
Are you doing background removal from the pre-edge?

Is another feature underlying this targeted feature also disappearing or changing? i.e. you are not watching a feature
increase from zero but instead changing from one to another? ...or seeing a background increase as well?

Was the fluorescence measured using a solid state detector? Did the deadtime of the detector increase significantly
as the signal from the sample increased (and no deadtime correction applied) ?

Ha no worries! It would be Ifinal over time (to my vague understanding). I’m trying to show that the sample was saturated by looking above the fluorescence k-alpha line (or I guess it’s called the white line?) because the intensity should increase and then level off once it’s saturated. This is a xanes scan but we were doing fluorescence instead of transmission since it was a dilute sample. 
Did that answer the question? My apologies I’m very new and I’m sure im referring to things incorrectly.

Hi Robert:

What, exactly are you interested in plotting?  It is not quite clear from your message.  Is it the Io as a function of time during a scan?  Is it the XANES scans as a function of time for a reaction?

Hi all, I am attempting to graph a simple plot of intensity vs time for some supplemental info on a paper (from XAFS data from beamtime). I thought it should be simple enough since I can export I0 and If from Athena and I know the run time and time per data point but I can’t get anything that looks remotely like the logarithmic graph it should be. Am I missing some big fundamental point for why this isn’t possible? My apologies if this is way too vague!/I feel like I’m missing something super obvious 
Thank you for your time!
Sincerely
