Add a time lag

Thu, 01/27/2011 - 06:24 am

Hello,

I am trying to add a lag to my time data to get two different measurements to sync up. I've added a 2 second delay to the wave containing my time information, but the wave is no longer recognized as time and is presented only as a number. Is there a way to format this wave back to time data?

Thanks,
Amara

I don't know what you mean by "the wave is no longer recognized as time".

In a table, any numeric wave can be displayed as time by changing the column format:

Make/O/N=10 test = p

Edit test   // Display as number

ModifyTable format(test)=7

For information on designating a wave as storing date/time data, execute this:
DisplayHelpTopic "Date, Time, and Date&Time Units"

For information on displaying date/time data in tables, execute this:
DisplayHelpTopic "Date Values"

For information on formatting an axis as date/time:
DisplayHelpTopic "Date/Time Axes"

If that does not clear the problem up we will need a more detailed explanation and/or a sequence of commands that illustrates the problem.

What I meant by "recognized as time" was the wave's scaling. I'm a new user and I didn't realize the scaling is how a number can be formatted as a time.

Thanks, I think I have it figured out now.
