In an instance of Artemis, the Feff executable is run as needed to make the feffNNNN.dat files. That is, the first time you make a plot or a fit (there are a few other actions that will also trigger this), Artemis will run the Feff executable to make the path that is needed. Thus each path plotted or used in a fit requires a system call.

I see, so to be clear if I run FEFF9 and make the feffNNNN.dat paths through it, outside of Artemis, then import the feffNNNN.dat files into Artemis, FEFF6L is still called to when I want to plot or use a path in a fit?

Technically speaking, the value of feff-->executable is called to compute the contribution of each path. All the things that Artemis does behind the scenes to organize a Feff calculation and present it to the user of Artemis are guaranteed to work for the version of Feff6 that we can redistribute. I am working on making that same statement true for feff85exafs. I do not guarantee that statement to be true for other versions of Feff. It may work. It may not work. I have not tested what you want to do. I presume that this whole thread is in reference to the option in the File->import menu for importing an external Feff calculation. There is a reason that comes with a lengthy warning message before allowing you to do so. It's not a robust, well-tested part of Demeter.
