Hi Austin, Bruce Ravel could surely point out what it is , but there is probably something Athena doesn't like in your header (blank lines??) removing it and then reading the file in works fine (obviously you may want to note of the column headings ) Thanks Fred Mosselmans -----Original Message----- From: ifeffit-request@millenia.cars.aps.anl.gov [mailto:ifeffit-request@millenia.cars.aps.anl.gov] Sent: 02 October 2014 13:21 To: ifeffit@millenia.cars.aps.anl.gov Subject: Ifeffit Digest, Vol 140, Issue 2 Send Ifeffit mailing list submissions to ifeffit@millenia.cars.aps.anl.gov To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit http://millenia.cars.aps.anl.gov/mailman/listinfo/ifeffit or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to ifeffit-request@millenia.cars.aps.anl.gov You can reach the person managing the list at ifeffit-owner@millenia.cars.aps.anl.gov When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific than "Re: Contents of Ifeffit digest..."

Problems with Athena (Austin Krehel) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Message: 1 Date: Wed, 1 Oct 2014 21:58:34 -0500 From: Austin Krehel To: ifeffit@millenia.cars.aps.anl.gov Subject: [Ifeffit] Problems with Athena Message-ID: Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" Dear IFEFFIT Representative, I am a graduate student and am just now learning about EXAFS data plotting. I am having a problem with opening the data that I collected last month at Bulk-XANES line X11A (NSLS). I have tried the new and old versions of Athena, and they are both not reading the .001 files, which according to my professor, should be read since this has worked for him in the past on the old version. When I try opening the files, it says they "could not be read by ifeffit as a data file". I have attached one of the .001 files, in case that may help. And help or suggestions will be greatly appreciated. Thanks. -- Austin W. Krehel Kansas State University M.Sc. Geology, Class of 2016 Ph: (810)-358-3505
