Log Window

This window is used for line position fits and contour fits and will also display details of calculations if the PrintLevel is positive. On performing a fit, the average error, new values for the floated parameters (selected in the constants window) and a correlation matrix is displayed. A line list giving details of each fitted rotational line, with an observed and calculated frequency and obs-calc for each line, is also given.  The success of the fit can be judged from the obs-calc values and the average error; which should (of course) be as small as possible.  Click on an item in the picture below for more information:

Do a line position fit.  To run the fit more than once, increase the number of Cycles.

Do a contour fit to current overlays.

Step constants back one fit cycle for each press.

Step constants forward one fit cycle.
