**PROFILE (ASCII multiple file processing)**
============================================

General module descrition 
=========================

CTOME also provide the module Profile. It is a program like Excel, Origin or Qtiplot for the data analysis in Engineering. It is especially adapted to the fast process of large dataset. This is especially useful for the user of Gleeble thermomechanical simulator, tensile machine and other equipment in metallurgy.

Data analysis tools including smoothing, interpolation, non-linear fitting, derivative, batch processing, output graphics, navigation, multiple operations, statistics
