ACD/Curve Manager

Top Ten Features

1. Widest Multi-technique Support: Access and process analytical data for a wide range of experimental or calculated curves. Thermal analysis, calorimetry, titrimetry, kinetics, x-ray powder diffraction, logD, or solubility dependencies and data from many other techniques can be easily accessed, analyzed, and managed in a single program interface.
   
   If the other five modules of ACD/SpecManager are acquired, it becomes possible to centralize the data management tasks of most analytical techniques in one place. This means that ACD/Curve Processor will seamlessly integrate with 1D and 2D NMR, Mass, UV-Vis, and the ChromProcessor modules, if present, allowing you to process in parallel different file types that offer complementary information about the laboratory samples.
    
2. User Format Support: Expand the current list of instrument or software data formats with your own custom-built DOS executable or ACD/ChemBasic converters.
    
3. Chemical Structure Intelligence: Enhance your spectral analyses through the deep interlinking of the spectrum with an active chemical structure object for organic, polymeric, inorganic, and organometallic compounds. ACD/ChemSketch, a full-featured structure drawing package, is fully integrated with ACD/UV-IR Manager.
   
   The authentic chemical structure object pioneered by ACD/Labs "knows" a lot by itself: typical atom valences, bond angles, molecular weight, etc. Chemical information in this structure can be modified or 2D-cleaned, 3D-optimized, and much more.
    
4. Straightforward Automation: Automate routine tasks with advanced macro processing tools. Run, store, and organize the macro programs within a user-friendly interface. Any macro can be associated with a button on the Macro Panel or run automatically when a spectrum is opened. Group Macro tools facilitate the task of pushing experimental spectra collected in files for years into a fully searchable reference database.
    
5. Data About the Analytical Curve: Organize experimental conditions and any other associated information into User Data fields. Data input can be facilitated and standardized by means of data entry forms using Data Forms Manager. It provides users with the capability to design and save custom input dialogs (Data Forms) able to perform necessary validation of entries.
    
6. Wide Scope File Format: Store all results of processing, analysis, and associated data, such as chemical structure and tables in the ACD/Labs spectrum format (*.esp) along with the whole history of operations. Nevertheless, a backup copy of the original raw data is always kept in the document, thereby allowing all changes to be discarded at the user's discretion.
    
7. Customizable Processing Function Tool: Perform various X- and Y-axis conversions and data manipulation according to a user-defined formula Include variables detected from the curve data set (e.g., minimum or maximum value of coordinates or a particular annotated point) in the formula.
    
8. Advanced Data Modeling Capabilities: Use the Regression tool to fit the curve data to a straight line or polynomial. Find an optimum form of equation by using the statistical description to guide you. Interactively select and exclude outlying points from the model fit. Resolve overlapped peaks in spectrum-like curves modeling their shapes by a wide range of the most important analytical functions by using the Peak Fitting tool.
    
9. Overlaid Line Tools: Use the Overlaid Line tool to model an experimental curve with a set of straight line segments. Draw or fit lines to experimental curve segments to establish local baselines or trends, or obtain line intercepts and midpoints. This tool is designed to help determine onset and endset values, midpoints, and extrapolated intersects between lines.
    
10. State-of-the-Art Reporting Tools: Publish and present the analysis results by producing professional quality reports or posters without leaving ACD/Curve Manager. This program can transfer spectra, tables, structures, and graphics into any Windows document as OLE-objects or pictures. After processing, professional reports and posters can be prepared without leaving the Curve Manager program and printed, saved, or exported in the popular Adobe PDF format.
