Noisy experimental data can be smoothed by the special action Actions|Smooth experimental data. You have to specify the spectral range for the operation and the number of times you want SCOUT to perform the smoothing action. A simple 3-point-smoothing is used (a point is replaced by the average of its value and those of the two neighbours in each iteration).

With the command Actions|Repeat data smoothing you can repeat the smoothing operation with the previous parameters.

Here is a short example. The original data

are smoothed in the range 5500 ... 6500 1/cm by applying the 3-point-averaging 10 times:
