I have a set of data that has masked values... I manually went in and selected which values to mask in order to obtain better curve fits. When I perform batch processing on the data that has the masked values the batch process ignores the masked data and uses the whole data instead. Is there a way or script around this? Thank you so much in advanced.
I am not sure. The way I masked the data was by performing curve fitting and then truncating a bit of the last points to have a better fit and omitting some values that were too far off from the curve. I guess eliminating some rows of data would work. I am not sure what kind of script would work that would allow me to have better curve fitting without me having a look at the actual curve. Apologies in advanced I am a novice when it comes to this.
There actually is an Origin system variable that allows masking information to be preserved when an analysis template is saved. If set, the analysis template will remember the rows that are masked.
The system variable is @ATCM and setting it to 0 (zero) will preserve the masking info in the analysis template (it is 1 by default meaning not to save the masking info).
Alas it is not in your version of Origin as it was introduced later. But perhaps you can download the demo of our latest version, Origin 2020b, and give it a try.
