A data analysis suite, incorporating the exponential
fitting routine DELP. DELP is an algorithm for obtaining a very
fast fit of a sum of exponentials. It works on the principle
that a sum of exponentials is a solution of a linear homogeneous
differential equation with constant coefficients. DELP algorithm

The following features are available
*) averaging, with automatic and manual alignment
*) very fast multi-exponential fitting
*) laser printer output with some editing facilities
*) multiple display and plotting windows
*) contents of file and files in a directory plotted automatically
*) automatic trace by trace subtraction for
i) response-control
ii) transient and leak subtraction
*) calculation of mean, minimum and maximum values
*) filters: analogue, non-causal, Savitsky Golay, Wiener
*) digital differentiation and integration
*) Fast Fourier Transforms, power spectra with averaging and
smoothing
*) Editing of data files
*) Detection of events: single channel, synaptic etc
*) Ohmic series resistance compensation
*) Transformation by log, power, multiply
*) clampex, sigav and generic files types supported (up to a
point)
*) data arrays of up to 32,000 points
