Hi davidandersoniii,

Here is a sample script, which can take care both designation patterns of XYYYY.. and XYXYXY...

nc=wks.ncols;
inc=1;  //Default pattern XYYY..
if(nc>=3) {if(wks.col3.type==4) inc=2;} //Detect XYXY...
for(ii=2; ii<=nc; ii=ii+inc) {
  //smooth iy:=wcol(ii) method:=aav npts:=4; //Smoothing 
  differentiate iy:=wcol(ii)  order:=1;  //Differentiate
}

Tip: Here "differentiate" is the name of x-function for differentiation. ("smooth" is for smoothing.)
I don't remember the names of all x-functions, but it is easy to get - when you press the small triangle button at
the upper right corner of analysis tool, choose "Generate Script" flyout, then you get the corresponding script
(x-function) command based on the options you chose in the dialog box in the Script window. (Please see the screenshot.
Here "-r 2" is a general option to set the recalculation mode, 1=Auto, 2=Manual, 0=None).
Once you get the command name, you can learn the detail options from "Help: X-Functions" menu.



Hope this is helpful.

Hi davidandersoniii,

As you are using Origin 8.6, you can use the "Repeat This Analysis" method discussed at:
http://www.originlab.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=10768

Although above page is regarding the Smoothing, differentiation is the same thing.

Does it work as you like?
