We were also trying to figure out a way to remove the background from his experimental absorption spectra -- can Athena do this (or does Athena only work on EXAFS spectra)? If not, does anyone do this type of thing and have suggestions?
I'm a little confused. Could you be more explicit about what kind of data you are talking about? In general, though, if the problem of removing background from data can be expressed in the terms of the autobk algorithm, that is removing the low frequency Fouirer components and leaving the high frequency ones, then probably Athena will handle is ok. You could always just read the data in and see what happens. ;-) B -- Bruce Ravel ----------------------------------- ravel@phys.washington.edu Code 6134, Building 3, Room 222 Naval Research Laboratory phone: (1) 202 767 5947 Washington DC 20375, USA fax: (1) 202 767 1697 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/
