Adam and list members, I have imported my data again, making sure this time that mu(E) data type was selected. This seems to solve some, but not all of my problems. I still cannot save the merged files at chi files. Well, I can, but then they are empty, unworkable chi files. Whats happening to these chi files? Any more suggestions? --Dan On 4 Mar 2005 21:28:12 -0000, Adam Webb wrote:

Dan,

I think the problem was when you first imported the data. When you import the data, Athena tries to figure out what type it is. In your case the first file is very short and Athena probably selected XANES data. This disables the k,q etc since they don't apply. Re-import your data but be sure to select mu(E) as the Data Type in the import window.

The rest of your problems should go away.

Cheers,

Adam

Dear mailing list --

I'm having difficulty creating a chi file. First off I cannot plot my data files in k, q , etc. The files can only be plotted in E or merged and plotted in k, q, etc.

Second, when I go to the file menu to create a chi(k) from the marked original text file, Athena won't let me. That is to say the only option is create to Save Mu(E) and when I do that a file is created with nothing in it.

When I merge 2 data files and create a chi(k) file from that, again, a file is created and named, but nothing is there. Is there something wrong with my data files? I don't see any error messages. Let me know if you need more info.

I'll also attach my athena file.

Thanks, Dan
