Origin Version (Select Help-->About Origin): 7.0
Operating System:XP

Dear all,
I am very new into origin programing. I am trying learn by trying to solve some problems. At the moment, I got stuck with something described below.
I have a worksheet with 4 columns, say a(x), b(y1), c(y2), d(y3). I load some data with 2 columns into a and b using a worksheet script. Then I do some calculation in the script with column b and get the values into column c. Then the column c has a peak value. Now in the column d, I want to divide column c by the peak value of that column. How to get the peak value of column c? If anyone has an answer that will be appreciated.
thank you,
Manesh

sum(col(C));
peakval=sum.max;
col(D)=col(C)/peakval;

Look for the description of the sum() function in your programming guide (Help> Programming)...

LabTalk Language Reference> Function Reference> Statistical Function> Statistics on Datasets
