This document describes the installation and use of @fuse{}. @fuse{} is the FEFF/UWXAFS System for Emacs. It is a user interface for FEFF, ATOMS, AUTOBK, FEFFIT and a few other programs developed by the members and former members of the x-ray absorption spectroscopy group at the University of Washington.
This document is written with the assumption that the reader is familiar with EXAFS analysis, the use of FEFF and the UWXAFS programs, and the use of Emacs. It is not expected that the reader is a guru in any of these topics, but a certain knowlege of each is necessary as their basic concepts will not be explained here.
There are two companion documents to this one. One of these is a tutorial, see section `Introduction' in The Fuse Tutorial, and demonstrates the use of @fuse{} by walking you through an analysis of copper metal using @fuse{} along with FEFF and the UWXAFS programs. The other is a quick reference card, `quickref.ps', which describes the key sequences and user configurable variables in @fuse{}. These three documents together provide a complete reference to @fuse{}.
The general purpose of a user interface to these (or any) programs is to to add value to the programs by making their use easier and more efficient. To this end, I have broken down the interface to FEFF and the UWXAFS programs into five conceptual areas of functionality. These are
@fuse{} is an ongoing project. I hope that, in its present form, it
will help you analyze your data. For some hints of what @fuse{} might do
in the future, take a peek at section Future work. If you have any questions,
comments, complaints, or suggestions, please contact me. There is a bug
report function built into @fuse{} which sends me email using the Emacs
mailer. It is invoked by C-c C-b b of from the Input -
miscellaneous
menu. Use that function or any of my contact information
shown on the second page of this document.
