Raman Data Analysis - Normalization

I have mulitiple sets of data from Raman setup. I need one set of data without a peak to be set as a baseline measurement. Afterwards the data should be normalized so I can anaylse the peaks correctly. Any help will be appreciated.

For your baseline, cover the detector with a beam block, and record a spectrum. This will be your baseline.

For normalizing a spectrum, simply:

maxval=max(spectrum1);
spectrum1_normalized=spectrum1/maxval; %the max value will be 1, and the rest of the spectrum will be scaled appropriately.
