Description

This tool performs simple arithmetic on a (part of) single column, or between two columns. You can add a constant on a set of data, or subtract a set of data by another one.

Examples

The following steps show you how to subtract a column by another.

  1. Click Import Single ASCII button Button Import Single ASCII.png on the standard toolbar to open the ASCII dialog. Select Enzyme.dat from <Origin Program Directory>\Samples\Curve Fitting folder and check Show Options Dialog checkbox. Click Open button.
  2. In the impASC dialog open, expand Header Lines sub branch under the Import Options branch. Set Number of Subheader Lines to 3, Long Names to 1, Units to 2, both Comments From and Comments To to 3. Click OK button to import Enzyme.dat.
  3. With "Enzyme" worksheet active, click Analysis: Mathematics: Simple Column Math to open vmathtool dialog.
  4. Click the triangle to the right of Input1 and select V(Y):V from the context menu. Select Subtract from Operator drop-down list and Reference Data from Operand drop-down list. Click the interactive button Mathtool help English files image002.jpg next to Reference Data, and select column C in the source worksheet as Operand. Select <new> for Output. And then click OK button.

A new column is added to the original worksheet. It shows the difference between "No Inhibitor" condition and "Competitive Inhibition" condition. The result worksheet should be as follow:
