Hi there, I know that there are already some post on this topic, but I wasn't able to find a answer for my specific case. So here is my problem: I am using a Manipulate[Plot...] to find starting value in order to fit a FTIR spectrum composed of several (10) gaussian peaks. So in the preview I adjust the arguments for the various gaussians until the curve fit approximately. Now I want to use these values as starting values in the fitting process. The snapshot command only produces a list of variable values, fixed (e.g. {A=100,B=50}). As starting values, the format needed is e.g. {{A, 100},{B,50}} and provided as argument for the FindFit[] function. I would be very glad if you could help me with this since I am not very experienced using mathematica.
