[Ifeffit] configurational average

 My question is how the path files (feffxxx.dat) are defined when
"configurational average" is used in feff calculation.
And how we apply  path data  avaraged configurationally to the fitting
calculation.
For example in case of CaCu5 structure two Cu sites are there, i.e. 3g and
2c site.
If we use control card of "CFAVERAGE" in feff calculation with setting Cu 3g
as a core. Then configurational average will be done over the 2c sites.
The below shows the  two log files of feff8 ( list.log  ) in the case of the
configurationally averaged (core  Cu 3g site) and without  configurationally
averaged.
I calculate Fourier transform (RSF) using each path (feffxxxx.dat) deduced
by feff calculation applying configurationally averaged and compared with
that of the total one. I fail to coincide  sum of RSF's for each path with
the  total RSF.
I like to know the reason of it.

Next question is how we use the  paths (feffxxxx.dat) in the feffit
calculation when we use "configurational average" in feff calculation.
Can we use the feffxxxx.dat files as it is for the feffit?
