Powerful Curve Fitting
- Built-in fits include: Smooth Weighted, Cubic Spline, and Interpolate curve fits, as well as Least Squares Regressions (linear, polynomial, exponential, logarithmic and power).
- Includes a library of over 100 industry-specific formulas you can customize.
- Utilize a predefined fit or enter your own equation (up to 9 parameters)
- Define up to 16 curve fits for simultanoues use on a single plot.
- Extrapolate curve fits to axis limits.
- Show fit equation, parameters, and R or R2.
- Copy the values of the curve fit or the residuals into the data window for further analysis.
Data Entry
