Abstract:

This manual describes use of FIT2D,  a 2-D data analysis program, specialising in model fitting. FIT2D is a program which allows difficult data analysis problems to be tackled using 2-D dimensional fitting of user specified models. To enable model fitting to be performed on a wide variety of input data, many other more basic data analysis operations are also available. Calibration and correction of detector distortion has become an important part of FIT2D. FIT2D is still under development, but already a wide range of basic data analysis operations and a number of more sophisticated methods are available. Normal graphics display methods are available.

INTENDED AUDIENCE: This document is intended for scientists and engineers who intend to use FIT2D for basic data analysis, data visualisation, or data format conversion. This manual is intended for reference and most users should not need to read more than small sections of the manual. The index should be of use in finding information on specific subjects, and users are recommended to use the index extensively. The manual contains many cross-references so useful inter-relating sections should be easy to find. (If you have helpful suggestions for further index entries or cross-references please contact me.) For newcomers to FIT2D the user guide ``FIT2D: An Introduction and Overview'' is recommended as a starting point.
