Hello All, There seems to be a lot of interest in Rebinning data. I have a perl script that I've written to do the same thing. I thought it might be of interest. Shelly

Hi Carlo,
Thanks!! That's wonderful. It seems like this should be an option in spline() and bkg_cl(), and possibly in pre_edge(). I admit to being still a little confused by the goal of the rebinning, especially with respect to loss of resolution. It seems like to use this script, you need to do two things: 1. select an E0. The data will be put at energies that will give an even k-grid with this e0. I think it's inevitable that if e0 changes, you might want to re-bin.
2. assume that the k-grid is small enough that the measurements at independent energies are within the acceptable energy resolution that they can be simply summed.
Is that right?
Would it be OK with you (and everyone else) to have a weighted average replace the boxcar average? For example, at k=12, [E(k+0.05) - E(k)] = 5eV, which is larger than normal energy resolutions, so the boxcar average might wash out the high-k EXAFS, no? It might be better to convolve the spectra with a lorenztian reflecting the incident energy resolution (probably defaulting to 1eV). Does that seem OK or is there something eles going on?
Anyway, thanks!!
