Changing indexed values in multiple waves

If I understand your desire ... Concatenate the six waves into a matrix (6xN). Set the region matrix[10,20][] = NaN. Split the matrix back to six waves. I think this is three lines of code. :-)

How about:

You can also create one key wave with zero values where you want to keep the original data and 1 where you want to set nans and then apply MatrixOP with the setNaNs() function to each one of the waves.

Could you tell us a bit more about your task? You write about six waves, but it also sounds like a more general procedure ('...I would have to change the wave range in each instance'). I think JJ's answer is the shortest code-wise, but you have certain limitations (same length of all waves, and the 'bad points' have to be at the same position). Is there some way to detect 'bad points'? You could write a mini function to automatically clear these points without manual input, for example.

I do this kind of thing with functions that have more than 6 lines of code :(

function has an optional wave reference wave as parameter; any point removed from target is also removed from waves referenced in waveref wave.

something like this

I've never done this and I like this approach. What command will separate the waves out of the matrix and back to 6 separate waves?

Thanks a lot for the help.

Check out SplitWave or use MatrixOP with the Col() function as many times as necessary.

Assuming all your test waves have the same size and are one-dimensional:

You can construct the string input for Concatenate and SplitWave dynamically, depending on how many waves you have. You can also go for /FREE instead of the /O flag for Concatenate when you are working inside a function. This would make the KillWaves line unnecessary.

Perfect!! Thanks a lot. I really appreciate the help. Happy Holidays to everyone!!
