[Ifeffit] MBACK and Athena

[Bajamundi Cyril]

Hello,

I have 3 spectra taken from a single sample, I align, merge and save the merged data as  merge.xmu file.
I then normalize this merged data using the MBACK algorithm in Matlab, the results of which is stored as merged.xmu.mnor file. This file, I then import to ATHENA using the instructions in http://www.mail-archive.com/ifeffit@millenia.cars.aps.anl.gov/msg03523.html.

I do this for all my samples and standards in order for me to perform LCF.
My questions are

1.     Is this procedure valid? In the sense that no information or features of the spectrum are lost from merge.xmu to merged.xmu.mnor file.

2.     How will the procedure <Calibrate data> affect this procedure?


Thank you for your time in answering my questions.

Regards,
Cyril

PS: This query is in relation to my previous question [Ifeffit] Basic question in normalization and background removal
