Key Features

• High-Performance Vectorized Batch Fit Engine (VBF Engine): Achieves very fast fitting speeds through batched matrix operations, capable of simultaneously fitting multiple spectra or large 2D maps.
• Custom Fit Models: Construct customized fit models for specific spectroscopic profiles and reuse them to rapidly analyze new datasets.
• Versatile Data Processing: Seamlessly process both 1D spectral data and 2D hyperspectral data.
• Unified Results: Collect and compile all best-fit results with a single click.
• Advanced Visualization: Dedicated workspace for generating fast, publication-ready data visualizations.
• Optimized User Interface: Designed for quick inspection, filtering, and comparison of large spectral datasets.
