Setting scale of a wave with another wave of same dimension

Thu, 04/28/2011 - 02:25 am

Hi,

I have a question relating to setting scale of a wave.

I have one wave that simply has the "voltage" information and another wave which has the "time" information and both waves are of same length.
I would like to scale the voltage-wave with the time-wave but the "setscale" command seems to only work with a fixed delta value.
Is there a way of setting scale of a wave with variable delta?

Thanks a lot for your help in advance! :)

The whole idea of a wave (waveform) is that there is a fixed interval between adjacent points in the wave, so no, it's not possible to have a variable delta value.

Many Igor operations are happy to use a pair of X and Y waves, however. You could also consider interpolating your data wave so that you have a new wave so that you could use the fixed x scaling.
