The input file for files
is special. It must be the last
keyword in the input file and it precedes the list of files containing
data to be normalized and aligned. Each filename following the
files
keyword must be on its own line. See
the appendix for an example input file.
These characters denote comments in the input file. Anything on a line following any one of these characters will be ignored.
This is the name for the file(s) containing the aligned data. If
no output file name is specified, the input file name will be used
with the extension changed to nor
or with _norm
added to the filename. The file extension is defined as all
characters after the final dot (.) in the file name. This definition
meets the definition of an extension in DOS and VMS, and is well
defined in a Unix environment.
These specify the formats for the input and output data files.
By default, files are read in the ASCII format. The other option is
the UWXAFS format. The format
keyword specifies both input
and output format. Note that the input and output formats do not need
to be the same.
This specifies the edge energy of the standard data set.
These specify the beginning and end values of the energy range to be used for the pre-edge subtraction. These values are relative to the edge energy, e0, as specified in the input file. Their default values are -200 and -50, respectively. Note that pre1 is lower in energy than pre2.
These specify the beginning and end values of the energy range to be used for the normalization. These values are relative to the edge energy, e0, as specified in the input file. Their default values are 100 and 500, respectively. Note that nor1 is lower in energy than nor2.
This specifies the largest energy value used in the alignment fit. The value is relative to the edge energy, e0, as specified in the input file. If unspecified, it is the last energy point in the standard or in the data, whichever is smaller. If there are features in either the standard or the data that might bias the fit, for instance glitches or Bragg peaks, it may improve the quality of the alignment to specify emax such that these features are avoided. Generally, however, the default for emax should produce the most reliable alignment.
These keywords are synonymous. They are flags telling
