Dear all, I am a new user of Athena and encountered some issues with data plotting. While plotting the uXAS data for Fe K pre-edge the quality of plotting is somehow less sharp compared to the actual data I plotted using other graphical tool (see below) [cid:4465cab9-2ae8-49e7-8253-e54ac3d22bb7] vs what I get from Athena [cid:4db817c1-78d0-4ac8-b094-12d37d055466] As you can see the resolution of the pre-edge in Athena is so poor I cannot resolve the Fe2+/Fe3+ ratio as the peak for Fe3+ is not visible. (I plotted Bruce's data from lepidocrocite to see if it's a common problem and it seems that his data look much better than mine). During my time on synchrotron we actually spent a lot of time to resolve best resolution on the pre edge, so it's not a acquisition problem. Does anyone have any idea how to fix this? I am attaching the project file and txt file (plot FluoRT2 column) with the original data. Thank you for your help, Weronika Ofierska
Hi Weronika, I think that the problem is due to the fact that the data file stores data in keV so that the small increments in energy at the pre-edge look like very, very small changes if the energy is assumed to be in eV. So, I think you may just need to specify that the data has energy units of keV rather than eV. When I read your Fe_Kedge_falconX.... file into XAS Viewer, I also had to tell it that it was XAS data in keV, but then it read in just fine. If I zoom in on the pre-edge peaks it shows: [image: image.png] I think that agrees with what you see. On Mon, Jun 27, 2022 at 8:40 PM Ofierska Weronika Lucja < weronika.ofierska@erdw.ethz.ch> wrote:

Hello Weronika,
I had a similar issue looking at data from the BM30 beamline.
Downgrading Athena version from 0.9.26 down to 0.9.25 solved the problem.
Although you still need to specify keV when importing.

Hi,
If I'm not mistaken, it is a bug of athena 026,
you may easily fix it yourself as Bruce nicely explained below.
don't need to downgrade to 025, I think.
best regards,
Gleb

Dear Bruce and Lucy
Thanks for your work around Lucy, it works perfectly but still doesn't explain the behavior I am observing.
Bruce what other information would be useful to diagnose the problem I am currently having? I have attached two figures, one showing the import window with the setting I have been using, specifically that I am not using the rebin feature. The second figure shows the difference in the pre-edge region between importing the data with eV and keV units for the energy column to demonstrate clearly that resampling is occurring when importing with data that has an energy column of KeV.
Many Thanks Adam Clark

To: "ifeffit@millenia.cars.aps.anl.gov" Subject: [Ifeffit] Data Import Bug (Athena 0.9.26) Message-ID: Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Dear Mailing List
I have recently come across a data import error when using Athena version 0.9.26. When importing data there appears to be a resampling which significantly reduces the resolution of the data. Attached is an example dataset with an energy step of 0.5 eV on the Cu K edge. When importing with Athena 0.9.26 this data is significantly resampled resulting in an energy resolution on the edge of 1.5 eV which can either be seen by plotting or by exporting and inspecting the datafile. Using version 0.9.25 resolves this issue entirely. The data itself appears to actually be visible correctly during the import process (the import tab shows the data listed correctly when choosing which columns to import).
Is there a setting somewhere within Athena 0.9.26 that sets the default behavior to resample the imported data?
Thanks Adam Clark

Yepp,
well known bug in Athena ->
- either patch Athena
- save the files in eV
- or use larch as Mat showed
best regards
Stefan
