Dear all,

I am having some issues with the multiple peak fitting function in Origin (2018). My workflow is as follows:

  • My data are baseline corrected and normalized between 0 and 1 after exporting from the measurement software
  • I import the text data (2 columns - Wavenumber and Peak intensity) into Origin
  • I click the line chart symbol
  • I edit its Y-scale between 0 and 1
  • I choose Analysis - Multiple Peak Fitting - Open Dialog
  • I choose my wavenumber limits and click ok
  • I select the 2 peaks that I am interested in
  • The fitting window opens
  • A good fit is obtained, showing the 2 fitted peaks, report sheets are created
  • I add an extra sheet to the workbook and copy - paste (as links) the data that I am interested in from the repo- - - - - rt pages into this new sheet
  • This procedure I then save as an analysis template (as explained in one of your tutorial videos)

So far everything works OK.

Now I would like to run this analysis template on multiple similar data files.

I choose File > Batch processing > Select the template that was just saved > Load files > Edit configuration > Press OK

The batch process runs correctly and I get an output file with my results.

Unfortunately the results are different (and worse) than when I do them file by file. The problem is that the fitted peaks now go below 0 (although all my data are normalized between 0 and 1. In the manual processing workflow I could adjust the Y scale on the chart before starting the fitting and then this problem did not occur... The file in attachment shows a fitting in batch processing mode.

I checked all possible settings in the Multiple Peak fitting dialog and checked several manuals and instruction videos, but can't really find anything for the moment.

Does anyone know a way to force this fitting between intensities from 0 to 1 (or just limited by file limits) in Batch processing mode?

Thanks for the help!

Kind regards,

Nigel
