David, Scott and Andreas,

Thanks you so much, that is exactly what I want to do.  Another  question before I get myself into trouble.  Is it advisable to set E-Eo before or after I want to analyze with linear combinations?  Or is either option viable?

Hi

Assuming your spectrum is calibrated and you know the "correct" E0 , you can use the following workaround to plot data on a (E-E0) axis:  set the energy shift in Athena to "minus E0" and Athena's E0 to zero.

Bruce,

I believe what Aimee wants to see is E-Eo (eV) plotted on the x-axis
instead of E (eV) in the Athena plot window.  I don't think you have the
option anywhere in Athena to plot the data like this.

Aimee,

Athena does let you easily export the data as an x-y dataset that can
you put into your favorite plotting software and do the simple
subtraction that you desire to plot.

Hi Aimee,

Data calibration is explained in the Athena User's Guide:

http://cars9.uchicago.edu/~ravel/software/doc/Athena/html/process/cal.ht
ml


If that is too terse or does not address your question, you might
consider making a small Athena project file which demonstrates what
you are confused about and then post that to the mailing list.
Posting data is usually the best way to get a concrete answer.
