Automation is always appreciated, not required, but much appreciated.  The data set that I was fitting was indeed the result of multiple fast scans performed during an in-situ catalysis experiment, similar to what Anatoly is planning for NSLS.  

My biggest challenge with the current Athena code. 0.8.041 in fitting many XANES spectra was not having a single report where all fitting results could be exported to.  I would imagine if you automated the fitting routine you would produce some report that lists all fitting results including fitting statistics in a single file.  In addition, in the current fitting utility there was a few wasted clicks and edits because the fitting range kept reverting back to -15 to 45 eV... My fitting range was different than the default and every time I choose another data set to fit the fitting range reverted back to the default which meant I had to choose each box and make the appropriate changes for each new data set.

Regardless of these issues, the LCF module is fantastic.  I truly appreciate the ease of use, the ability to view the fit along with components of the fit, and the ability to plot the residual.  Thanks for another useful tool to make my life easier.


Regards,
Dave
