Quickstart
How Oparic works: select your raw experimental data directly, then run an analysis or plotting workflow.
The core model: direct analysis

- Analyze / plot: pick an analysis or plotting workflow, such as “Coulombic Efficiency”, “Plot the Last Complete Cycle”, “b-value Analysis”, or “EIS/DRT Analysis”. The input can be a folder of raw instrument data, or a multi-selected group of data files.
The input control shows supported data sources and file types. For routine work, start from the analysis or plotting workflow.
Preparation
- Install and launch Oparic (Windows).
- Register and sign in.
- Origin (optional, but recommended): Windows only, requires Origin ≥ 2021. Once installed, the status bar will show Origin as ready. If Origin is missing or its version is too old, the cards still run — they just will not auto-generate Origin plots.
A full run-through (CV as an example)
- Gallery →
CV→ pick a CV analysis or plotting workflow, such as “Plot the Last Complete Cycle”. - In the input control, select the folder containing raw CV data, or switch to file mode and multi-select a group of data files.
- Run the workflow.
- The figure is generated automatically. If Origin ≥ 2021 is ready, Oparic also creates worksheets, plots in Origin, and saves an
.opjufile to the output folder, where you can keep refining in Origin.

FAQ
- Origin did not launch? The status bar will explain why. Excel files and preview images should still be generated; if the issue persists, contact technical support.
- Will it overwrite my existing plots? Yes. If Origin already contains earlier plots, Oparic will overwrite them. Save your work before launching — a warning dialog will appear in this case.
- No analyzable data found: make sure you selected a raw data folder, or multi-selected a group of files from the same experiment. The input control lists the supported data sources and file types.
