Intro to SixPack • Install SixPack by extracting zip file • Start SixPack • Review All Modules • SamView basics • Opening data: SG1UC click on each file • Plotting data: plot options, zoom/unzoom, coordinates • Derivatives and E calibration • Applying E shifts to data • BEWARE: ONLY THE FIRST SCAN COUNTS! • Save averages: muF, muT1 • WHICH DATA SET SHOULD I USE, TRANS OR FLUO? • Best way to get data for plotting
Intro to SixPack • Open SG1UG files (leave other files there) • Group ave with muF • Delete SG1UC files • Save muF • Energy calibration – CAREFUL! • Save and Clear • Open EXP08_6_1EXT_EXAFS_002 files • Inspect and DT correct. 13. Save muF
Intro to Background Removal • Start a NEW sixpack session. • Background subtraction basics • Open files with .avg extensions • Plotting data: plot options, zoom/unzoom, coordinates • Derivatives and E calibration • Applying E shifts to data • THIS IS THE SAFER WAY TO RECALIBRATE! • Where are the XANES? • Where are the EXAFS? • What is the best spline? • How to take the FT • Saving Data for XANES • Saving Data for EXAFS
