Average Spectra details

Calculation of an average spectrum from a set of multiple 2D data objects is useful in many cases. This function is often applied in quantitative or qualitative analysis of spectra series. It might be also a convenient feature, when multiple spectra are displayed in one data view, to get a quick overview by just displaying the average spectrum instead. For other users, it is also interesting to see some statistic information like the mean deviation of a spectra series. The mean deviation spectrum is also calculated on averaging.

Similar mathematical operations are available to calculate two spectra. Detailed information is provided in the section "Spectrum Arithmetics".

Average spectra parameters

The following parameters can be adjusted in the average spectra function:

Create new window

This flag toggles creation of a new window for the calculation result on or off.

• Yes
  The average spectrum and the mean deviation spectrum are displayed in a new window.

• No
  The average spectrum and the mean deviation spectrum are added to the current window.

Calculate deviation

This flag toggles calculation of the mean deviation spectrum on or off.

• Yes
  The mean deviation spectrum is calculated.

• No
  The mean deviation spectrum is not calculated.
