Well I wasn’t aware of that actually ! Herewith I am attaching 4 data files. The energy is column no. 2, numerator -12 and denominator is 13,14
Atul, You are correct. Athena does the wrong thing when importing multiple files. Although it remembers your column selection, it keeps resetting the choice of energy units. As Matt pointed out, the reason for this is the annoying and useless first column of your data files. Point number? That's kind of silly. Athena attempts to use some smarts when importing data. One of the tests it does is on the contents of the first column in an effort to determine whether the data were recorded in eV, keV, or some other unit. "Point number" matches the simple test Athena uses to recognize keV units. That's not the part that needs fixing. (Well, OK, maybe it could be better, but it's not the thing I am going to fix!) The part that needs fixing is that, while Athena is rememberiong the column selection from the last time you imported a similar data file, it is not remembering the energy units. I am going to work on that this afternoon. Whenever I make a new release, this will be fixed. For now, the work-around is to import you data one at a time. Alternately, write yourself a little program that strips the first column out of all your data files. Alternate #2, write yourself a Athena filetype plugin that recognizes the file type and scrubs the first column.
