Origin 2027 Feature Highlights

Origin now lets you attach sticky notes directly to windows, giving you a quick, visible way to capture comments, reminders, or context right alongside your data and graphs.

Key features include:

• Attach one or more sticky notes to window. With workbooks, you can attach notes to individual sheets or to the workbook
• Choose from a list of colors or a custom color to organize or categorize notes visually
• Copy and paste sticky notes to other windows
• Minimized sticky notes stack vertically or horizontally
• Preview note text by mousing over a minimized window, or over a window's icon in the Project Explorer
• Spot windows with notes at a glance via indicators on the title bar button, the minimized window icon, the Project Explorer icon, and the sheet tab
• See sheet-level sticky note indicator directly in the Object Manager
• Search sticky note content directly from the Project Browser dialog and the Find in Project Files dialog
• Set preferences for sticky notes — such as showing notes for inactive windows and preventing notes from being dragged outside the window
• Delete sticky notes at window level or across the project (using del -sn LabTalk command)

Easily create multiple comparisons and significance plots directly from ANOVA and t-test report sheets. Statistical results are automatically carried over to the plots, eliminating manual setup.

Key features include:

• Directly from Analysis Reports: Launch the plot dialog from an icon in the report sheet.
• Supported Analyses: Create Multiple Comparisons Plot from One-Way ANOVA, Two-Way ANOVA, Two-Sample t-Test, Paired t-Test and Corresponding Non-parametric analyses reports. Create Significance Plot from One-Sample t-Test reports.
• Automatic Results Transfer: Statistical results are automatically applied to the plots.
• Publication-Ready Styling: Create plots with thicker axes, vivid colors, and bold text.
• Multiple Plot Types: Choose Bar, Box, Violin, or Scatter plots with SD, SEM, or 95% CI error bars.
• Flexible Significance Annotations: Customize brackets and annotations, place brackets outside the plot area, and show only p-values that meet a specified threshold.

Several new features have been added for Life Science related graphing and analysis:

• Western Blot and qPCR Assays
• Multiple Comparisons and Significance Plots
• IC50/EC50 lines in fit results graphs
• Auto-recalculation on data structure changes to data tables
• More Life Science related fitting functions
• Outlier removal using Robust Regression

Explore uncertainty, evaluate process capability, identify key factors, and optimize model inputs with an enhanced Monte Carlo Simulation tool.

Key Features:

• Modern Model Builder: Define inputs, outputs, equations, and function groups with a visual model preview.
• Import Existing Models: Build simulations from DOE, GLR, NLFit reports, or worksheet data.
• Expanded Probability Distributions: Choose from many distributions, including Triangular and Truncated Normal, or identify suitable distributions from sample data.
• Capability Reports: View output distributions, Cpk/Ppk, DPMO, percent out of specification, and editable specification limits.
• Sensitivity Analysis: Identify influential inputs with line + symbol plots or filtered tornado charts.
• Parameter Optimization: Optimize controllable inputs to improve capability, reduce variation, or minimize out-of-specification results.

Expanded tools for process control, capability analysis, experimental design, reliability, measurement systems, and stability studies give you greater flexibility in analyzing real-world quality and manufacturing data:

• Statistical Process Control: New G and T charts for rare events, plus nonnormal and nonparametric options for I-MR and Individuals charts.
• Process Capability: New automated, nonparametric, and machine capability analyses handle a broader range of process-data conditions.
• Design of Experiments: New 2-level split-plot designs for experiments with hard-to-change factors.
• Reliability Analysis: New Distribution Identification and Distribution Overview for arbitrarily censored data, plus additional threshold-parameter distributions for right-censored data.
• Gage Studies: Gage R&R reports now include a conclusion chart, and a new standalone Run Chart tool is available.
• Stability Study: Treat batch as a random factor and use mixed-effects modeling to account for between-batch variability.
• Monte Carlo Simulation: A completely redesigned Monte Carlo Simulation app.

The Object Manager now offers a Tree View for workbooks, giving you a clearer, more structured way to see how analysis operations and their output sheets relate to each other.

Key features include:

• Toggle between the existing List View and the new Tree View using an icon on the Object Manager's title bar
• Tree View groups each analysis operation together with its output sheets, making it easy to trace how a sheet (such as Nonlinear Curve Fit) was derived
• Option to hide result sheets below operation node to view only the analysis relationships
• Click on operation lock to jump to the corresponding result sheet
• Double click on operation lock to change parameters
• Right-click an operation node for quick actions: Change Parameter, Recalculate Mode, Go to Source, Go to Report, Delete, etc.
• Right-click a book, an operation, or blank area to access global Tree View settings

This version introduces a Compact GUI Mode that is suitable for users who prefer to have a simpler interface:

• Fewer toolbars docked on interface by default
• Project Explorer and Object Manager are docked together on the right
• Basic plot type buttons on the left, and common graph annotation buttons on top right

You can also easily switch between the four available GUI modes from the Preferences menu:
Default, Life Science, Stats, Compact
Note that Life Science and Stats GUI Modes need to be turned on during installation if you prefer to have those accessible.

Origin C now supports modern language features, new container classes and multi-threaded loops, along with productivity improvements in Code Builder, so code is shorter, safer and faster.

Key features include:

• Multi-threaded ffor() loop for faster execution of compute-heavy tasks such as matrix operations
• New oset and omap classes for sets and maps, plus support for vectors of simple structs and a copy constructor for vector
• New override and __super keywords, so the compiler flags a derived method that no longer matches its base class, and an override can call the base implementation
• Modern syntax, including auto, nullptr, static_assert, switch() over strings, range-based for() and variable initialization inside if() and switch()
• JSON conversion to and from strings for matrix objects
• Code Builder improvements: Sticky Scroll to keep your place in long code, drag-and-drop of files to other apps, and a Profiler (Debug menu or Profiler class) to find slower functions
