Viewing a selection from channel

[Adalbertus]

Hello everyone,

is there an easy way to select only some values for View? I have an array of indexes and would like to plot several curves from the same channel between indexes. I plan making it a little bit interactive with band cursor so I don't want to create separate channel each time.

many thanks

Hey Adalbertus,

Could you elaborate on what you are doing? Are you loading data into your VIEW manually or using a script?

Are you looking to display the data only for the indexes in your array and then be able to scroll through that?

Using a script. I want to split values from one channel into several areas. Currently I have a channels of values and an array of indexes bordering the regions I want to show (data from several channels go into the same area). Was thinking about creating simple procedure that I would call repeatedly, after shoving those curves you would use band cursor to select you area of interest. Simplest would be if I could just call view and tell it to show channel ABC from X to Y...

Hi Adelbertus,

The only way to display part of a channel in VIEW is to create a new channel that has only the part you care about and display all of the new channel.  Really, only the statistics function in the ANALYSIS panel operates natively over a selected array index range.  Otherwise you always end up creating a new channel.  There are several suggestions in the DIAdemIdeas that would make this easier, if you want to "like" any of them...
