Exporting data to Igor
Hello, I now frequently use the possibility of exporting data from Athena to my analysis software Igor Pro 5. I have a few suggestions on the exporting behaviour: - The abscissa-column of exported BFT data (q-space) is wrong when using File | Save marked group as data | ... This applies to the magnitude, real and imaginary part. Obviously the R-space values are used instead of q-space as can be seen from the column header. When using File | Save chi(q) no problems occur. (see Data.zip, Athena 0.8.034, Ifeffit 1.2.6a) - Along with exporting the data I also use Edit | Write a report | CSV report (marked groups) to get a printout of all parameter values with which the data was processed. I have written a small script for Igor to read that data into a text wave from where it can be displayed or used in further routines e.g. to automatically be displayed in a graph. If anyone is interested I can post that script. Bruce, if there is time left for it, could you also include the value of the check button 'Phase correction' along with the exported data? (BTW: The unchecked button displays either 'No' or 'Off' but it seems irrelevant) Cheers, Gerrit
Hi Gerrit, Thanks for the note.

This was a silly typo in the source. It'll be fixed in the next release. Thanks.

I'd be happy to post it on my contributions page, if you would like. http://leonardo.phys.washington.edu/~ravel/software/exafs/contrib.html

I did this for all three kinds of reports. Again -- next release.
