" How many scans did you try to import? ... There is a memory limit." (Robert)

"Having said that, this is quite the file for Athena to work with: 100 element Ge detector data with separate columns of FFn, SCA2.n, ICRn, and OCRn for each element n. In my hands (Windows 8.1, 64 bit, Demeter Athena 0.9.24 using Ifeffit backend), I get a Perl interpreter crash if I try to import >50 selected Ge FF columns into a single mu(E), and in any case can only select up to 87 columns." (Erik)

There's a limit to how many datasets Athena can handle at any given time, see: http://www.mail-archive.com/ifeffit%40millenia.cars.aps.anl.gov/msg04818.htm... http://www.mail-archive.com/ifeffit%40millenia.cars.aps.anl.gov/msg04817.htm...

I am able to import multiple scans with reference data. My test was to try 3 scans and associated reference data. I am using version 0.9.24. How many scans did you try to import? Is there a problem with one of the scans you tried to import? There is a memory limit. More information is needed to diagnose the problem you are having. It does not seem to be a bug in the software. Look for the log file that may contain information on why the program crashed. What does it say? "Each of the GUI programs (Athena, Artemis, and Hephaestus) writes its output messages to a log file. In win 7 to 10, This can be found in C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\ RE: 2. It opens fine for me. Win10pro x64 system using version 0.9.24 with the SSRL plugin registry entries selected. Did you activate the SSRLmicro plugin? If I deactivate it, I cannot read the file. regards, Robert On 3/23/2016 2:51 PM, Dien.Li@srs.govmailto:Dien.Li@srs.gov wrote: HI, Bruce and Matt I have two questions for you, please help me. 1. I collected U EXAFS data on APS 10-ID, while I input a single data file with reference data in Athena, it was OK, however, when I input multiple data files (scans) also with reference data, it was crushed. I could input multiple data files without reference data, which Matt helped me trouble shoot. The Demeter 8.24 version is used on my computer, I believe. Matt suggested me to update to the current version. I do not know if other users have this problem. 2. I have a U EXAFS data file which was collected at SSRL, however, I could not input this data file using Athena, how to fix this? format? See the attachment. thanks you so much.
