[Ifeffit] RE : problem with Athena's E0 !

[Arezki, Bahia]

Jeremy,

Thanks for your fast reply !  Actually I have used the data-calibrate tab to calibrate the reference channels. I will check the settings-preferences.
thanks,

Bahia

Athena attempts to find a reasonable Eo to make it faster for you to
look at your data.  After that, it is your responsibility to tell Athena
what Eo value to use, and not the other way around.  Some tools are
provided to make it easier to choose consistent values, particularly in
the data-calibrate tab.  Also be aware that several selections in the
settings-preferences tab affect Athena's initial guess for Eo.
