[Ifeffit] EXAFS data

[Barton, David (DG)]

Abhijeet,
Check out this link to a similar past discussion on the mailing list
regarding reading data from the Farrel Lytle database, it may be helpful
as well.

Hi Abhijeet:

The Farrel Lytle data is in the form of staps with calibration points. 
You need to make a conversion to energy.  Grant Bunker sent me this 
description a while ago.  I have written a Python program to do the 
conversion but have had no time to finish it off and make it really 
useful.

Hope this helps

I wrote a little conversion program in mathematica for  somebody who 
asked a year or so ago.  It should be easy to pythonize it.  The main 
thing to remember is the first column is in motor steps (!), and the 
angle is a linear function of motor steps, and the rest is just 
Bragg's law. Things are referenced physically to the copper edge.

Key parameters used in the data acquisition program are in the header: 
dspace is obvious, stepdeg is steps per degree in the mono, cuedge is 
the position of the Cu edge as measured in motor step units.

So, the business end of the conversion is something like this:

(*constants*)
hc=12398.5;
Cuenrg=8980.3;

(* these things should be extracted from file header *)
dspace=3.13562;
cuedge=50880.;
stpdeg=4000.;

(* code*)
const=hc/(2*dspace);
thetaCu=ArcSin[const/Cuenrg];
theta[n_]:=(n-cuedge)/stpdeg*pi/180.+thetaCu
e[n_]:=const/Sin[theta[n]]


I'm not positive, but I think the channel offsets are already 
subtracted from the other columns; the offsets are just listed for 
documentation.
