CurvFit 5.11

CurvFit ™ is a curve fitting program for Windows 95/98. Lorentzian, Sine, Exponential and Power series are available models to match your data. A Lorentzian series is highly recommended for real data especially for multiple peaked and/or valleys data. CurvFit is an example of Fortran Calculus programming… ie. minutes to solve, days or years to understand solution and what it implies (e.g. wrong model, sampling rate error, etc.). Helps learn 1) whether math model is good for given data; 2) convergence implies a reasonable solution; 3) how to select new starting initial parameter values. See comments in EX*.? files for ideas on how to converge via solvers. Equation Calculator and Hardcopy Plot prints are now (6/2005) available.

Rainbow 5.11

Find best Spectral Estimation Method for a Power Spectral Density plot. A menu of 10 spectral estimators from Steve Kay’s textbook ‘Modern Spectral Estimation’ 1988 is available to choose from. The results differ dramatically from one estimator to another. Plus, varying input parameters and/or number of points may provide discrepancies.



See how zero padding effects your results. Manufacturing companies take note! Some estimators can detect signals 50 to 100 dB from main signal. See documented example! The unwritten rule of ‘30 dB is okay’ (i.e. hidden) is no longer true.

Adit Testdesk 1.70

If you are teaching a course or work for a certification company, you already know that creating a test or exam for your students is a complex and time consuming task. Running a computerized test also raises serious security concerns. Nothing consumes as much time as grading an exam.

All types of questions from paper-based tests are supported, including multiple choice, matching, fill in the blank, numeric, and more. Adit Testdesk introduces new options as well that are only available in computer-based tests, such as hotspot and drawing a point, line, rectangle, circle or a complex shape, here


the answer would be, for example, the contents of a circle.



Run tests securely on-line and off-line



It’s important to ensure that all possibilities of tampering with the testing software are eliminated, and that the students can not modify the test data. Adit Testdesk provides complete protection from unauthorized access.
