turning a text wave into a wave that can be graphed

Share icon

I loaded a wave as a matric

1 2 3
4 5 6
7 8 9

did "matrix transpose myWave" to make it:

1 4 7
2 5 8
3 6 9

This did "redimension/N=(9) myWave" and got

1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9

However, it now thinks that this is a text wave and I can't graph it. Can anyone help me figure out how to turn it back into a number wave?

My guess is that it was originally loaded as a text wave. I would have to see the original data file to know why.

If you can't figure it out, send a zip archive containing the data file along with the LoadWave command that you used to WaveMetrics support. Include your Igor version and OS. Alternatively you can post the data file and command here.
