Batch Curve Fitting

Dear all

First of all, I am new to this package so the questions might be trivial, however I want to ask anyway.

Let's assume that I have N waves that have 10 gaussian peaks that I want to fit. Some of these peaks will overlap.

I know that the spacing between all peak A and A+1 is the same in all waves.

I know that the width of all peaks are the same in all waves.

So basically I want to find:

- The common Gaussian width

- The position of all 10 peaks using the data in my N waves. The fact that I have N waves simplifies this since the fit will be more robust.

Can I "ask" Batch Curve Fitting to fit these parameters, but to fit them using all N specrtra.

A long time ago there was a package written by Dr. Edwin Kukk (SPANCF for those who remember it) that did exactly this (and more), this package was written for XPS data... However this stopped working after about Igor 6 and Edwin is no longer updating this package since many years...

Edit:

In a simple picture, following the demo provided by WaveMetrics - this would be similar to forcing the y0-parameter in a line-fit to be the same for all fits. In the demo this does not make sense since the data does not look like that, but it is easy to think of an example where y0 is constant for 20 datasets and the main reason to fit all datasets at once is to get the best determination of y0. Hope this makes sense...

End edit.

Best,

Johan
