Tasks

Originally, the toolbox started as collection of Matlab® scripts, later functions, for preprocessing and further analysing transient EPR spectra.

Goal: A list of tasks that the toolbox should be able to perform on datasets, together with a detailled description of each task.

The tasks the toolbox was designed for can be divided into several separate areas:

• Input/output (I/O)
  • General I/O routines, such as reading and saving of spectra
• Preprocessing
  Processing of raw data
  • Pretrigger offset compensation
  • Background subtraction
  • Baseline correction
  • Accumulation
  • Smoothing
  • Averaging
• Analysis
  (General) analysis of preprocessed data
  • Measuring distances
  • Fitting time profiles (i.e., their decay)
  • Comparing spectra at different times (temporal evolution)
  • Comparing of different spectra/different time profiles
  • …

Further tasks, more related to operating the toolbox and data display, can be categorised as follows:

• Figures
  • Modifications of figures
  • Save/export figures in different (file) formats
• GUI
  all GUI-related functions
