This is not intended to be a full manual on data processing with Athena (there are many more references that exist which will go over those details). Instead, this page is meant to address some issues that users frequently encounter, and offer tips to get around those issues. We hope to add more tips and tricks as issues arise.

See this video from the SSRL XAS 2020 Summer School and the below screen shots for help.


In Athena, click into the main drop down menu and select "Plugin registry"


From the registry, select all options beginning with "SSRL" - SSRLA, SSRLB, and SSRLmicro
