Hello,
I'm noticing that as I process some XAS data, some mu files (which I've prepared by averaging scans in SamView and then correcting in the background removal module) can't be plotted correctly when they are opened in the PCA module. When multiple files are prepared identically, some are affected and others are not. Both the .mu and .xdi mu files are affected. The files contain full spectra and I can't see any obvious problems in the files.
Repeating the processing steps with the same raw data seems to result in an identical mu file that can't be plotted. I get the same problem with versions 1.4 and 1.5.6. I haven't tried another computer yet but I'm having the problem on the BL4-1 processing computer. I made sure there are no hyphens in my file names.
I'm attaching example files and an image of the failed plotting.
Thanks for any ideas!
Eric E.
Thanks Eleanor, no, my file names start with regular letters. Looks like the issue is that some of my step sizes were smaller than the default interpolation size. Turning off interpolation solved the problem, as did setting the interpolation smaller than my smallest energy steps.
Do your file names start with a number? (Sixpack will not load files that have names that start with a number like in your example posted jpg. )
Hmm, can't attach mu or xdi files. Here's the content of an example .mu file:
