Open force curves

Open force curves

To start the analysis, you can Open the experimental data

by selecting Force Curve / Force Volume Image (*.*) in the Files of Type: sub-window and then selecting the experimatal file(s) to analyze:

PUNIAS will then automaticallly create a batch file of name List.dat and containing the data by default (i.e. Results as result file and 0 as spring constant) and the list of the experimental data selected for the analysis.

After the automatic batch file creation, PUNIAS will then automaticallly open (one after the other) all the curves to be analyzed. After plotting the curve, as force versus extension or deformation, the computer determines the best possible baseline for the corresponding curve, and adds it to the graph. In the same way, the unfolding peaks or markers for the different calculations are determined by an algorithm and plotted on the graph. With all of these results being plotted on the graph along with the experimental curve, the user can very quickly visualize the results the computer finds, and validate them by saving the results and moving to the next file.
