[proFit-list] problem with SetDefaultCols

[Kurt Sutter]

Dear Fernando

I cannot say what is wrong with your example. I have just tried here. I have put one experiment in columns 3 and 4, and the x-coordinates of the other experiment in column 5. Then I ran

program test;
begin
	SetDefaultCols(3,4,0,0) ;
	Transform (operation functionOp, function 'Spline', xColumn 5, yColumn 6);
end;

The results were as expected. Are you sure your code works properly. If yes, we need more information.

Best regards

This is easy when both curves have been taken at the same abscissa, but if there is a shift between abscissae you have to correct this somehow. If the shits are small and the curves are sufficiently smooth, I've in the past used this code to do what is shown in the picture: I define the x and y columns (2*ik-1 and 2*ik in the example below) to fit with Spline, then I tell Transform to write the value of the Spline function with other column for the x  ( (2*num_wins+1) in the example) at the column (2*num_wins+1)+(ik)

It keeps the same values you gave the first run, and then they do not change anymore. Moreover, if you look at the data window, the red x and y, with blue "in" and "out" do move as expected... but the calculation of Spline does not.
