Hi Richard,
The menu deconvolution command currently does have this limitation that the response be symmetrical. However one could use the NAG library FFT functions to programmatically perform deconvolution. In version 7.5, there is a function available in fft_utils.c that can be called to perform the deconvolution, with code such as below. You could try this with the 7.5 demo.

// Code starts here----- need v 7.5 ------
#include <Origin.h>
#include <fft_utils.h>
void deconvolute(string strSignal1, string strSignal2, string strResult)
{
// Declare datasets and check validity
Dataset ds1(strSignal1);
Dataset ds2(strSignal2);
Dataset ds3(strResult);
if(!ds1 || !ds2 || !ds3)
{
printf("Invalid dataset(s)!\n");
return;
}
// Copy datsets to vectors to pass to fft_deconvolute function
vector vec1, vec2, vec3;
vec1 = ds1;
vec2 = ds2;
int iRet = fft_deconvolute(vec1, vec2, vec3);
if(0 != iRet)
{
printf ("FFT Deconvolution call returned error. Error code: %d\n", iRet);
return;
}
// Copy result vector to result dataset
ds3 = vec3;
}
// Code ends here-----------
