Re: Question for Math Gurus

Carroll, I am not a math 'guru', but Mathematica, MathCad and MatLab can all do what you are looking for.  If you do not wish to learn a new program and are happy with the results of Table Curve, I would suggest getting a macro program for Windows.  Most can do both keyboard as well as mouse movement and clicks.  The one I use is EZ Macros by American Systems.  They also have a program tha can so screen /window capture, like Snag-It does, which is very popular.  With EZ Macros, you can edit the recorded session .  So you could add files, delete parts and the like.  There is a trial version.

I have a program called TableCurve 2D which has numerous functions for analyzing numerical data.  It has an elegant graphical interface for user interaction.  My primary use of it is Fourier filtering or smoothing.  It presents a histogram of the spectral composition of your data and allows you to delete any components you wish.  I use it almost exclusively as a low-pass filter.  One very important characteristic of the program is that for EVERY data point in the input there is a corresponding data point in the output - in other words, if N represents the value of X at the last data point in the input, the output also has a point at X=N.  (I realize that the Y value at X=N may change as additional points are added beyond N, but I can live with that.) Here's my problem:  The user interface is elegant, but strictly manual.  I need to be able to pass 40, 100, or more files through such a filter (same frequency cutoff for all) and it is simply too tedious and time-consuming to handle each one manually. What I need is a program which has the above filtering capability but which either (1) has some kind of macro capability permitting me to automate the process for many files (must be able to specify a list of input and output file names and the cutoff frequency or wavelength), or (2) can be invoked from the command prompt with input and output file names and the cutoff value specified on the command line. I've checked with SPSS, the firm that produces TableCurve, and they can't help me.  Any suggestions where I might find such a program? Regards, Carroll S.
