Overlay a Curve Fit

  

The curve fit commands store the fit into the next higher overlay curve for the frame; e.g., if you read data into the first curve for a frame the fit is stored in the second. Curve fits are done after you read the data and are wiped out by the next read. The fit only uses the data within the x window.

LL
does a linear fit. 

LE
does a logrithmic fit. The following example does an exponential fit to the extended torus pressure (which has data for 80 seconds after t0).
