Origin 9, Windows 7
I was wondering if anyone could recommend a good piece of code / function to find the attached point on a series of graphs. 
I was thinking that this is a point of inflection and there is an ocmath_find_inflection_point function, but I don't understand all the parameters, namely xc and w. Is this the correct function to locate the point in red (or the closest data point to it)?
Is there a better way to locate this point?
Once I have identified the x coord, I will set that as my zero via a horizontal shift so all plots show the same start regardless of the raw x-axis.
Thanks for your thoughts,
Bryan |

Hi, Bryank
maybe you can try doing a differentiate on this signal and find where the max value of 1st order derivative is.

Thanks for your reply Kathy.
The exact value of Y also changes. What I do know is that this point (or location) is always about 2/3 less than the peak of the maximum (shown on the curve).
If I use this levelcrossing tool to 2/3(max(y)), it could work. Is it possible to automate this tool with BatchImport?
Best,
Bryan

Otherwise, you need to know the criteria to define the point, for example if it is an inflection point, its second derivative should be 0?
