Math Keys
Each Math Key activates a sub menu. Each sub menu is described in de-
tail in the following pages.
Smooth
The Smooth sub menu will smooth the data in the display memory using
the Savitsky-Golay algorithm. For details on the Savitsky-Golay smooth-
ing technique, see Abraham Savitsky and Marcel J. E. Golay, "Smooth-
ing and Differentiation of Data by Simplified Least Squares Procedures",
Analytical Chemistry
, (36) 8, July 1964. In essence, smoothing removes
features which are narrower than the number of smoothing points.
Smoothing is performed on the entire data record in display memory, re-
gardless of graph scaling. Smoothing the data will change the data from
integer count data into single precision (16 bits) floating point representa-
tion. Any calculation which requires a greater range will either underflow
(return zero) or overflow. An operation which overflows will display an er-
ror message and abort.
Smoothing alters the data in the display memory. Original unsmoothed
integer data may be recalled using the ReAcquire function in the Mode

Introduction
The Math menu is used to smooth, fit, change and analyze the data in
