I have a couple of problems with a function definition file that I have written (based on a file that I was given that works fine...).

(1) I get warning messages that it is not generating values when I try to run it in Origin after assigning all of the variables and giving it reasonable starting values. However, if I define the variables in the script window (Xt=%H_Xt; etc...) and copy and paste the script in en bloc and execute it ,it does generate reasonable values.

(2) It also apparently plots lines for two functions that I define (numerator(x) and denominator(x)) along with lines for two of the datasets generated in the calculation (k and DQ).

(3) Also, when I was trying to set up the variables in the script window I kept finding that direct definitions along the lines of: InjVM=%H_InjV/1E6; worked only sometimes - other times it seemed to ignore the command... However, InjVM=%H_InjV; InjVM/=1E6; was a bit more reliable.

The full fdf is pasted below, any suggestions about what is wrong would be gratefully received as I only have one example of an fdf file to work from.

[GENERAL INFORMATION]

XtM=Xt;
XtM/=1000;#total ligand in mol/l.
InjVM=injV;
InjVM/=1000000;#injection volume in L.
XsyrM=Xsyr;
XsyrM/=1000;#assumes [X] in syringe input in mM - converts to mol/l.

for (i=1;MtB5[i]>0;i+=1)
{
a=0;#initial value for low boundary.
c=XtM[i];#initial value for high boundary.
d=XtM[i];#c is a starting value that is varied, d is always XtM[i].
e=MtB5[i];
loop(j,1,40)
{
b=((c-a)/2+a);
k[i]=b;#writes xmid to element i of "k" dataset.
Ya=a-d+e*5*numerator(a)/denominator(a);
Yb=b-d+e*5*numerator(b)/denominator(b);
if (Yb==0||(c-a)<=d*0.0001) {break;};#0.0001 works well
if (Yb*Ya<0) {c=b;}
else {a=b;};
};
};#dataset "k" contains values for [free ligand] obtained from a bisection search.
Q=MtB5*5*V0*(f*k*H1+f*g*(H1+H2)*k^2+f^2*2*H1*k^2+f*g^2*(H1+2*H2)*k^3+f^2*g*(2*H1+H2)*k^3+f*g^3*(H1+3*H2)*k^4+g^5*5*H2*k^5)/denominator(k);
create DQ -n 1000;
for (i=1; injVM[i]>0; i+=1)
{
DQ[i]=Q[i+1]+injVM*(Q[i+1]+Q[i])/(2*V0)-Q[i];
};

I have now sorted out problem (2) by using the polynomial function provided with Origin, and making "k" and "DQ" temporary datasets. However the fitting will still not start... after entering some starting parameters and pressing the one iteration button I notice that in the bottom left corner of the screen there is a message that rapidly cycles through some numbers finally giving i=2 and then I get the message "Flamda is 0.001 at iteration 1" with the usual message about the script not generating values and that I should check my syntax etc. Flamda was the subject of a previous discussion on this site, but no solutions to the guy's problem were pasted.

Is the format of my function definition file OK?
