Peak Fitting with Baseline

Summary

In OriginPro, the Peak Analyzer is capable of performing multiple peak fitting with several baseline subtraction options.

There are various ways to create a baseline for your spectrum data. You can select a few anchor points and then fit them with a function. The fitting of the baseline can be done along with the peak fitting.

Minimum Origin Version Required: OriginPro 8.0 SR6
