stoft "@Warren, thanks for the suggestions. Take a look (above) at the two new plots which replace the one(s) you referenced. You're right, the new ones m..." | Read more » about 8 years ago

stoft "Hmmm, well the RAW data should have the same scale units which would be unsigned 8-bit integer from 000 to 255 -- so the Y axis should show noise h..." | Read more » about 8 years ago
stoft "Well, except there's still a problem with the plot. The smallest increment looks to be '4 steps' per scale units of '10'. Either there was some mul..." | Read more » about 8 years ago
stoft "Or, they are all 'bad' (noisy) to some degree ;-) The sharpness of the peak is still mostly a factor of slit, mechanical rigidity, being light-tigh..." | Read more » about 8 years ago
stoft "Yes, it's called quantization; the camera only has 8-bits and the scale of the two plots is likely about 3-5x different. Take a look at the 'red' p..." | Read more » about 8 years ago
stoft "I believe both Excel and Quattro Pro provide for multiple plots. I suspect your's may as well -- in Quattro it's under the specialty xy plotting. I..." | Read more » about 8 years ago
