Data export

Exporting data from Athena for use with other programs

Although ATHENA handles all of your XAS data processing chores, there are many other things you may want to do with you data, such as preparing beautiful plots for publication or importing data into ARTEMIS. This chapter explains the various kinds of output files available in ATHENA.

There are three main types of export files, each of which is explained on the following pages:

• Column data files useful for importing into other plotting programs

• Project files which capture the entire state of your current work in ATHENA. These can be re-imported into ATHENA, imported into ARTEMIS, or emailed to your collaborator in another time zone.

• Report files summarizing parameter values for all the data groups in your project. These report files can be imported into spreadsheet or a database program.
