[Ifeffit] Importing Multiple Data Sets into Athena

[Kathy Dardenne]

Hi Dan,

The files you send are somehow corrupted. The format is totally changed.
I took your original data and it is loading perfectly all 5 scans. Your
likely save your files with some strange format.
If you use win7 wordpad the default option is breaking lines at the window
width. Then you get carriage return signs everywhere in your file when you
save it again.
It becomes unusable! Herewith your original file again.

Kathy

Hi Scott,

I have attached 3 of the data files and the Zr foil ref scan (already
calibrated). I first import the reference Zr foil scan and then the 3 files.

The Numerator for the data is column 30 and i also import the ref channel
where the numerator is column 7. If i choose to set ref to standard values
(as you would expect that to work) it fails and makes processing difficult. 
The only way round it i see is to import each data set individually and set
the element, edge and value of E0 manually (for the reference - the data is
read correctly) before then using the "align marked groups" function to
align all the data to the standard Zr foil i imported at the start.

Having played with the setting on the preprocess tab if you check the "align
to standard" radio button it aligns the data (not the reference channel)
despite the fact the "same element" radio is not checked - should the
preprocessing not apply to the reference channel (if present) before the
data channel?

As i say it is not a huge problem and i only report it in the interest of
bug removal.

Thanks,
Dan
