Help with a peakfitting software

[inko1nsiderat]

Now, I am not sure if this is the appropriate forum to post this in but I need some help with a particular peakfitting software, and my advisor has never used it before so I can't really ask anyone in our lab.

I am currently using seasolve's PeakFit, what I am trying to do is fit a gaussian curve to some UV-vis spectra in a particular wavelength range. I can do this but the way I am doing this seems very ad hocish to me. What I really want to do is use the automated peakfiting to fit a gaussian to this particular wavelength range to a particular r-squared value. I am wondering if anyone has any advice for doing this, or tips and tricks for using peakfit in general.

Thanks in advance for any replies.

I haven't used PeakFit for a long time, so don't have an answer to your question, but you may have a look at another peak fitting program: http://www.unipress.waw.pl/fityk/" (it's free).

Hello,

I understand the importance of using reliable and accurate software for data analysis. It seems like you are facing some challenges with using PeakFit for peak fitting in your UV-vis spectra.

Firstly, I would suggest reaching out to the developers or technical support team of PeakFit for assistance. They may be able to provide you with more specific guidance and tips on how to use the software for your specific needs.

In general, when using automated peak fitting, it is important to carefully select the parameters and settings to ensure accurate results. This may require some trial and error, but it is worth investing the time to optimize the fitting process.

Another helpful approach could be to consult with other researchers or colleagues who have experience using PeakFit or similar software for peak fitting. They may be able to offer some insights or advice based on their own experiences.

Additionally, I would recommend thoroughly reviewing the user manual and any available tutorials or online resources for PeakFit. This can help you familiarize yourself with the software and its capabilities, and may offer some useful tips and tricks for peak fitting.

I hope these suggestions help you in your peak fitting analysis. Best of luck with your research!
