Hello, When fitting multiple curves to an equation on the same graph (each curve has its own x axis), the fitted curves rescales itself to the x-axis of the 1st fit performed. This messes up the graph. Before performing a fit, when selecting the data set, instead of selecting just the y axis data, how do I select both the X and Y data for each curve?
You don't mention which fitter you are using in Origin 7, so I will assume you are using the Advanced fitter since the Wizard correctly associates a Y with its X. In the Advanced fitter, under Action : Dataset (or Select Dataset in Basic view) you: Select the y Dep item in Variables Select which Available data is the y dataset Click Assign Select the ---->x Indep item in Variables Select which Available data is the x dataset Click Assign
I think Origin 7 often did not auto-assign the correct x for more than one dataset in a layer so subsequent datasets require the X Assign.
You cannot constrain a fit through a point. You can use error bars to force a fit through a point. Set your error bar values to 1 except at the point in question where you can use a small, non-zero value (1E-3). Be sure to plot the error bars.
