Data processing

ATHENA offers a variety of data processing chores -- chores which modify the data in some way to prepare it for more extensive analysis. With the exception of merging data groups, all data processing features are accesses through the Data menu, shown below. All the entries in the Data menu, replace the main window with a dialog specially designed for the data processing chore.

You can work on more than one data group in any dialog without having to return to the main menu. Clicking on a group label in the group list will make that group current, display parameters appropriate to the data processing dialog, and plot the data in some appropriate manner.

When you are finished using the data processing dialog, you can press the button labeled “Return to the main window”. Doing so will close the special dialog and redisplay the main window.

The Data menu is used to access almost all data processing dialogs.
