Importing in Athena
I have recently been looking at some standards and I came across some Cu foil data in a two-column .dat format; "energy" and "xmu". (Incidentally, it is standard data taken in '92 by none other than Bruce R. and Matt. N.) Anyway, the data seems to load just fine using either the "xmu.dat" or the "Mu(E)" import profile, and I can remove backgrounds, do both forward and backward FT's and generally manipulate the data normally. Everything is fine until I try to save the chi(k) data. The program displays that it's saving the file, but does not report success. The file is indeed written, but with a file size of zero. Following this attempt, the graph may or may not be stuck in the last plot, and if it is stuck, no amount of frantic clicking on my part changes it. The Ifeffit buffer is empty, and there are no error trap files. -Dave Baker ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- North Carolina State University Dept. of Physics 2700 Stinton Dr. Box 8202 Raleigh, NC 27695 Ph: 919-515-5017 Fax:919-515-7331 email: dabaker@unity.ncsu.edu ------------------------------------------------------------------------ --

Works fine for me. What's the Athena version number? Are you saving it to a place on disk where you have write permission? B BTW -- in the column selection dialog, "xmu.dat" is intended for `xmu.dat' files generated by feff. Measured mu(E) data should be imported as "mu(E)". -- Bruce Ravel ----------------------------------- ravel@phys.washington.edu Code 6134, Building 3, Room 405 Naval Research Laboratory phone: (1) 202 767 2268 Washington DC 20375, USA fax: (1) 202 767 4642 NRL Synchrotron Radiation Consortium (NRL-SRC) Beamlines X11a, X11b, X23b 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/

Athena is version 0.8.030 under Ifeffit 1.2.6. I'm using my own computer, so there aren't any areas of disk space for which i don't have write permissions. -Dave -----Original Message----- From: Bruce Ravel [mailto:ravel@phys.washington.edu] Sent: Thursday, July 29, 2004 9:22 AM To: dabaker@unity.ncsu.edu; XAFS Analysis using Ifeffit Subject: Re: [Ifeffit] Importing in Athena On Thursday 29 July 2004 02:58 pm, Dave Baker wrote: the part

Hi Dave, I just don't have enough to go on. I just tried this version of Athena on my Win2k machine and I was able to save a chi(k) file without any incident. Unless you can provide me with a better clue as to what is happening on your machine, I don't know what to tell you. Has anyone else seen this problem with th new version? B P.S. I would like to *again* remind everyone to PLEASE tell me what program version number and type of computer you are using when you submit a bug report. If you don't, then I have to ask and that just slows down the process.

Bruce, Problem solved. Apparently, Athena doesn't like directories with the "#" character in them.
