User Servicable Parts of Athena and Artemis

Athena and Artemis are highly configurable. Here is a series of pages describing different aspects of those programs available to user for customization without having to look at the source code for Athena or Artemis.

User Contributions to Athena and Artemis

ARTEMIS worked example: ZnO (contributed by Scott Calvin)

  • Scott has written a wonderful series of five project files demonstrating a complete worked example of the analysis of zinc oxide data. These project files walk you through both the use of ARTEMIS and the creation of a detailed fitting model using FEFF and IFEFFIT. These are highly recommended for anyone just learning to use ARTEMIS. (Updated 11 January, 2007)

    Unpacking this Zip file, you will find a README file, an ATHENA project file with ZnO data, and a number of sequentially numbered ARTEMIS project files. Each one contains a journal full of commentary and instructions for how to work through this fitting example. To read the journals, select "Write in journal" from ARTEMIS's Edit menu.

Import a CSV report from ATHENA into Igor as a text wave (contributed by Gerrit Schmithals)

  • Gerrit explains: 

    The function importAthenaParam reads an ATHENA CSV-report (Exported via ATHENA's menu: Edit | Write a report | CSV report) into a text wave. The benefit 
of this function is that you have a [record] of the parameters along with the data... [It] works with the current version of Igor Pro 5.02. It is a quite 
short program so I do not expect any major bugs in it, but it would be a good idea to declare it as experimental until some users reported that they also 
successfully used it. I made myself a couple of subsequent procedures to use the imported information to tag waves on graphs etc. but these are really 
highly experimental. If you expect that user might be interested in them I could post them as well.
    OK, I declare this experimental! Installation instructions for Windows users are near the top of the file.

Hello Jay, Hello Bruce,

I had the same issue a couple of weeks ago. As I had a large number of
files to change from mac-linebreaks to windows-linebreaks (to
unix-linebreaks can also be implemented) I wrote a small Perl-program
that operates on all files in a directory and its subdirectories and do
the reformatting for me. That saved me from opening/saving each file
independently. If you (anyone) is interested in the code I can post it
here, though I would first have to change a few lines as the script uses
full paths. Of course you would have to have Perl installed on your
computer.
