Hi Yordy: I'm sorry. The xdp module is one that was written here by my group to provide I/O for data files produced at our beamline. I have packaged it for Debian but it is not out there for the general public yet. In the program I sent you the xdp module is only used to write out the converted data is a file format that we call SFF (Simple File Format). The xdp module is not necessary if you simply write out the converted data with a more normal set of commands. Your email got me thinking though that I should finish the progrram and make it useful to others. What I did, therefore, is to rewrite the program without the use of xdp and making it a bit more user-friendly. It now also handles both of the filetypes that Matt mentioned on a previous post, and which are documented at http://cars9.uchicago.edu/ifeffit/FAQ/Data_Handling#head-e7e2389af58d378379f... The program now runs fine under Python 2.5 (I don't know about 2.6 but let me know if it has problems!). It is used as a standard *nix filter, that is, rename it to "lytle_convert" (or make a link to it) and make sure it is executable and in the executing PATH so the system can find it. The program is invoked from the command line as $lytle_convert file0 [file1 file2 file3 ... fileN] It does take wildcards so you can process a bunch of files at once. Since all the Lytle database files are of the form "name.ext", the output file name is made to be "name_ext.sff". The program does its best to guess the steps per degree for the olert file type which does not include that information in the header. The d-spacing is assumed to be 1.92017. This may not work for all files (I have not checked and I didn't have time to put in more intelligence right now) so you might need to go in to modify the program to change these defaults. I am thinking that I will add options to let the d-spacing and steps per degree be set on the command line but that will have to wait for later. Enjoy!

Hi Carlo,

I´ve installed Python 2.6 for Windows XP to run your code. Latter I've installed a numpy 1.2.1 compiled for 2.6. I did neither find the *Numeric *module nor the *xdp* module you initialized first in the code. So I've intalled Py 2.4 version and again numpy, but didn not work. In 2.6 there is a *math* module that works similar to *Numeric*. As I did not find what *Numeric.zeros* does in line 32 I could not implement (if it were possible) with *math.* Could I use *xdrlib* module instead of *xdp?* ** Would you send me or tell me please where to find those modules and which Python you recommend me to install?

Best wishes, Yordy

Hi there!I'm getting the following message when I try to fit my data:WARNING. The following variables had no effect on the fit: !! >> amp !! >> enot !! >> delr !! >> ss The data that I am trying to fit is the Cu metal example that come with the iffefit package. I am running Artemis on a Mac, OSX 10.4.11.I could run the fitting on a mac OSX 10.5 and it worked fine. I reinstall the IXAFS package but it didn't work.I am wondering what could be wrong with my machine/software?Thanks a lot.Juraci Sampaio _________________________________________________________________ Confira v?deos com not?cias do NY Times, gols direto do Lance, videocassetadas e muito mais no MSN Video! http://video.msn.com/?mkt=pt-br
