Batch processing support XYZ columns, worksheets, and data ranges.

Batch processing support XYZ columns, worksheets, and data ranges.

Open

1.XYZ column

support in both using existing xyz datasets or import from files.

2. Use existing worksheets

support using any sheet from opj as input, if selected it will copy all columns to data source in analysis template.this options should be useful for statistics tools not require column designation.

3.Use Existing Ranges

it will have two input range: Fixed Range and Batch Range, Fixed Range means those data which is fixed in each process. this options should be useful for statistics tools.

Improvements to Batch Processing:

Improvements to Batch Processing

Mini tutorial:

1. Open Batch Processing dialog.

2. Load Analysis Template under <Origin EXE folder>\Samples\Batch Processing\Sensor Analysis.ogwu.

3. For File List, select Sensor01, Sensor02, and Sensor03.dat under <Origin EXE folder>\Samples\Curve Fitting\.

4. Set Result Sheet as Result.

5. Click OK. In Summary sheet, there is a graph image from the analysis Template on each row. Mouse over it to pop up a larger image of the graph.

How to include a graph image in each row or report sheet:

1. Open the analysis template .OGWU file. e.g. <Origin EXE folder>\Samples\Batch Processing\Sensor Analysis.ogwu.

2. Copy an embedded in the report sheet and Paste Link in a cell in the sheet that will be used as Summary Sheet in Batch Processing. 

3. Save the analysis template and use it in Batch Processing dialog.

Fitting: FDF should include Category

FDF should include Category

Add new Category key to FDF General Information section.

2. If this new key is empty or missing, it will pop up dialog to ask about which category to install.

3. Operations in Fitting Function Builder and Fitting Function Organizer will update this Category key, such as Create/Move func.

4. Fitting Function Builder allow to change category since 2018.

Composite Spectrum Regression

Perform multiple linear regression for spectra.

Download Composite Spectrum Regression app from the page and install the app.

This app can be used to peform multiple linear regression of spectral data.
The key benefit is that all coefficients are forced to be positive, and the sum of the coefficients can be constrained to a fixed number such as 1 or 100.

General: Ignore Hidden column/plots when choosing all columns or plots for analysis.

Ignore Hidden column/plots when choosing all columns or plots for analysis

A system variable, @AIP, is added to control whether ignore hidden column(s)/plot(s) or not when adding all as input(s) for analysis.

• =1 (default), ignore hidden plots.

• =0, include hidden plots.

For example, if some columns or plots on a graph are hidden, when opening an analysis dialog that supports multiple inputs and the user chooses All Colu

General: Set Default Digits for individual types of analyses.

Set Default Digits for individual types of analyses

Prior to Origin 2018, there is only global control of display digits via Digits in Report in the Numeric Format tab of Tools: Options.

In 2018, users can specify default Default Digits to apply for different types of analyses. For example:

After an analysis is done, right click in the table in the result sheet and choose Digits...  Set the Digits values and check Save as Default.

The default will apply to other instances of that particular analysis operation in the future.

To reset back to system default: Close Origin. Go to User Files folder and delete Defaults.XML.

Peak Analysis: Automatically set Area/Amplitude boundaries based on Peak Finding Direction.

Automatically set Area/Amplitude boundaries based on Peak Finding Direction

• If Peak Finding direction is Positive only, then Area boundary is >=0.

• If Peak Finding direction is Negative only, then Area boundary is <=0.

• If If Peak Finding direction is Both, then no boundary is set.

Statistics: Add ellipse coefficient to correlation matrix

Add ellipse coefficient to correlation matrix

From Origin 2018, the major and minor radius of the correlation ellipse in Scatter Matrix are exported to the result sheet. No matter you create the Scatter Matrix from Plot: 2D: Scatter Matrix or Statistics: Descriptive Statistics: Correlation Coefficient, you can find the major and minor radius of each correlation ellipse by A and B values in the Parameters column label row of the PlotData worksheet, where A is the major radius and B is the minor radius.
