Hello friends, Kindly I have a TG curve, and I want to calculate the weight loss of each step and the residual weight as the attached image in the green curve. Here an example of a TG data if you need it. I have origin 9.1
You can NLFit the curve by function Piecewise:PWL3 to find the slope changing points (xi1 & xi2). Then throught find Y by X to get corresponding Y values. The weight loss is the difference between the Y values. All the above can be implemented by building a analysis template.
Thanks much for your kind help. I have performed all the steps with the attached example but it gave me only one step or weight loss although it has 3 steps. Thanks
the weight loss of the 1st step is the difference between the first point in your data and xi1, right? And the last weight loss is between xi2 and the last point.
Besides, PWL3 only separate the curve into 3 segments. So if you have more than 3 steps in your curve, either do partial fit step by step, or build a user-defined fitting curve just like PWL3 but with higher order.
