Hi. I'm using Origin to find area under the curve of my Cyclic Voltammetry data. I have used gadgets tool but I don't know if this is really the area under my curve or not. Attached is the snapshot of the file after integrating. My questions are: 1) is the area shown above the graph the area of the black region? 2) What does the gray region showing?
I couldn't find what I was looking for in the above links. I tried playing around with the options in the integrate gadgets dialog box but I still couldn't find the data of my curve.
If the plot is made up of two curves, you should take one curve as the baseline and then integrate another curve with this baseline. This is mentioned in Section 4 of this page: https://www.originlab.com/doc/Tutorials/Integrate-Gadget
If the plot is an enclosed plot, you could calculate the area of this plot region by Analysis: Mathematics: Polygon Area.
I tried to use area of polygon but I still can't find the correct area. I'm now using data from a commercial capacitor whose capacitance I already know so i can refine my practice. The formula I'm using is the standard formula used in every paper world wide.
