The Farrel Lytle Database have some Cd spectra which seems useful and I would like to extract them from their "raw" state. The macro is given in the FAQ/Data Handling section of IFEFFIT, but I am not sure of how to go about using the macro or any other macro. Ctrl 5 in Athena is all I know. Can anyone advise me on this?

# macro lytle file group 4000

read_data ($1, group=$2, label='steps i0 i1 i2')

set (dspace = 1.92017, stpdeg = $3)

set (r2d = 57.29577951, hc = 12398.61)

set $2.energy = hc / (2 * dspace) / sin($2.steps / (r2d * stpdeg))

set $2.xmut = -log($2.i1/$2.i0)

set $2.xmuf = ($2.i2/$2.i0)

pre_edge $2.energy, $2.xmut

end macro

Cheers,

Alan
