[proFit-list] Repetitive fit using pro Fit 6.2.2

[lpecqueur@lebs.cnrs-gif.fr]

Dear all, I confirm this bug is also on pro-fit 6.1.14. I had the same problem and ended creating new tables for every new data.

Thank you for your support

Dear Christian

There seems to be a bug here. We are investigating this. However, I presently understand that the fit would run correctly, but the check for empty columns is executed with the wrong parameters. So try to make sure that column 1 is not empty, and then run the fit again.

Best regards

If column 1 contains the x data, column 2 contains the y data and column 3 is empty the fit works (after holding A constant in the Parameters window) even though xColumn=2 and yColumn=3 in pf.FitSetExperiment
