MagicPlot Batch Processing allows to automatically process multiple similar data in the same way without programming (scripting) and recording of macro. One only have to ordinarily process the first data set manually and then use it as a template for processing of the rest data sets. Batch Processing includes the processing of data itself and semiautomatic fitting the series of similar data.
Batch Processing idea is based on creating a copy of project components (Tables, Figures, Fit Plots), pasting new data to the copy of source table and recalculation.
For each file MagicPlot will:
Fitting of series dialog will be opened after batch processing. This tool allows you to fit multiple data with the same model.
It is supposed that you have a number of text (ASCII) files with similarly formatted source data to be processed.
The overall processing steps are:
Project → Import Text Table…
menu item) and process it. You can add new columns with formulas, calculate some derivative data (histograms, FFT, etc.), create Figures and Fit Plots with one simple restriction: Batch Processing

button to start processing. MagicPlot will create a copies of Template Table and all derivative components and paste new data in the leftmost columns.Fitting Series dialog will be opened after batch processing finishes if some Fit Plots were created during the processing.
Summary Table will be created after finishing fitting series. This table contains the values of all fit parameters and standard errors for all processed data sets. You can use this data to create a Figure or Fit Plot or export it.
You can open Fit Series
dialog using Fit Series Summary → Open Fit Series Dialog…
