The technique of whole band $analysis1$ has been used to obtain, simultaneously, line parameter estimates from three band $systems2$ between $3.6and4.0\mu m$. These systems include two Fermi resonant triads of the transition (2000-0000) of the isotopes $\mathrm{<mrow\; data-mjx-texclass="ORD">16</mrow>}o\mathrm{<mrow\; data-mjx-texclass="ORD">12</mrow>}c\mathrm{<mrow\; data-mjx-texclass="ORD">10</mrow>}O$ and $\mathrm{<mrow\; data-mjx-texclass="ORD">16</mrow>}o\mathrm{<mrow\; data-mjx-texclass="ORD">12</mrow>}c\mathrm{<mrow\; data-mjx-texclass="ORD">17</mrow>}o$. Parameter estimates, including rotational band constants, collision half-widths and band strengths are presented. In addition, modification of the spectra and their affect on the parameter estimates, produced by instrumental effects, are discussed.
