Howdy folks, This afternoon I put new source tarballs of Athena and Artemis on my website. I also build Windows executables of both programs for dropping on top of a current ifeffit installation (with the Splashscreen commented out!). These can be found in the standard places. These are mostly bug fix releases, although each program got one major new feature. For Athena the highlights are: 1. the column selection dialog now makes a stab at figuring out if you have transmission or fluorescence data. How it does this is configurable (so that it'll work well on your data files) but currently undocumented. Ask on this list if you want to know. 2. fixed a bug in the auto-align feature wherein the e0 shift of the alignment standard was ignored 3. fixed a horrid bug in the merge code where I added the e0 shift to the k-array when merging in k. (yikes!) 4. write a message to the Echo area if the plot multiplier is set to 0, which is usually not a good choice 5. added some complicated logic to avoid plotting groups if any relevant range is backwards. For example, if fft_kmin is greater than fft_kmax for a group, that group will not be plotted in R or q space and a (hopefully) helpful message will be printed to the echo area. 6. a few other minor problems were fixed and some usability issues on Windows were addressed (mostly having to do with raising small windows to the top of the screen) For Artemis the highlights are: 1. If you right-click on a word in one of the entry boxes for path parameter math expressions on a Path page, a menu will pop up which allows you to easily set that word as a parameter. It's very useful, but a little hard to explain. Here are some screen shots that might help: http://leonardo.phys.washington.edu/~ravel/software/exafs/images/artemis/bef... http://leonardo.phys.washington.edu/~ravel/software/exafs/images/artemis/aft... In the first picture, I right-clicked on the word "amp". After selecting the "guess" option from the menu, the view is switched to the GDS page and focus is given to highlighted box so you can start typing. This feature works sensibly for parameters which already exist and for those that have not yet been defined. 2. fixed a problem which prevented saving path data in any space 3. fixed a problem reading a project file with multiple feff calculations 4. a few other fixes to functionality and usability Extra special thanks to Mark Jensen, Paul Fons, and Kumi Pandya for useful bug reports and to Shelly Kelly for suggesting the right-click thing in Artemis. Enjoy and, as always, let me know what needs fixin' B -- Bruce Ravel ----------------------------------- ravel@phys.washington.edu Code 6134, Building 3, Room 222 Naval Research Laboratory phone: (1) 202 767 5947 Washington DC 20375, USA fax: (1) 202 767 1697 NRL Synchrotron Radiation Consortium (NRL-SRC) Beamlines X11a, X11b, X23b, X24c, U4b National Synchrotron Light Source Brookhaven National Laboratory, Upton, NY 11973 My homepage: http://feff.phys.washington.edu/~ravel EXAFS software: http://feff.phys.washington.edu/~ravel/software/exafs/
