Hints & Tips

DM41X PPC ROM Curve Fit

The PPC ROM's CV function does similar Curve Fitting to the Advantage Pac CFIT program, without the limitation on negative data point values.

Negative X values are acceptable for Linear and Exponential curves

Negative Y values are acceptable for Linear and Logarithmic

If any data point has BOTH X and Y negative then only Linear is possible.

Running CV

XEQ ALPHACVALPHA

Unlike CFIT there is no displayed menu for the top-row buttons, so you need to remember the functions.

Key A B C D E
Shift ∑- Initialize
Σ+ Solve Type J Y X Solve Best Type

Unlike normal Stats entry (where Y-value is entered first, then ENTER, then X-value is entered second, so that the X-value is in the X register before pressing ∑+) here we enter in “conventional” order:

  • X ENTER Y Σ+
  • X ENTER Y Σ+
  • X ENTER Y Σ+
  • X ENTER Y Σ+
  • etc…..

once the data is accumulated either

  • enter a fit-type digit (J)
    • 1 : Linear : Y = b*X + a
    • 2 : Exponential : Y = a*ebX
    • 3 : Logarithmic : Y = b*Ln(X) + a
    • 4 : Power : Y = a*Xb
  • then press B to Solve Type J

or

  • press E to Solve Best Type
