delete data using band cursor

[Leillo]

Hi,

I have some log files which I need to process. For some of these files I will need to delete the beginning and the end of them. To do this I am planning to plot the the log and set 2 cursors, then the user will move the cursors in a way that he would leave the unwanted data out of the band and then he would click a button to proceed to delete the unwanted data from all the channels within the group.

So far I have plotted the data and set the band using the following script:

view.ActiveSheet.Cursor.Type = "band"

view.ActiveSheet.Cursor.Mode = "graphPoints"

view.ActiveSheet.Cursor.X1 = CMin("Y_Accel")+0.25*(CMax("Y_Accel")-CMin("Y_Accel"))

view.ActiveSheet.Cursor.X2 = CMin("Y_Accel")+0.75*(CMax("Y_Accel")-CMin("Y_Accel")) 

Now I would like to use the positions where the cursors have been moved by the user to delete the data but I don't know how to read the cursor position. With it, I would use a function as DataBlDel or similar.

Does anyone have an idea of how to do this?

I am just starting with DIAdem so if someone spots that there is an easier way to do this please let me know.

Thanks,

Leo

Hi Leo,

If you're just starting out with DIAdem and scripting then the following article is a great resource. It discusses both user interactions and cursor data.

DIAdem - Using scripting to perform File Dialog, User Interaction, using Frame Cursor data, and much more!

Have a read and let me know if you have questions.

Best Regards,

Hi Chris,

I have made a script base on what you told me, it works. My issue now is that I want to update or refresh the View display in DIAdem View and I don't know how to do it. When I use "Debug VBS Script" the View display is refreshed after I finish the interaction and I can see what has been done but if I use "Run VBS Script" it won't refreshed the View display so I can not double check what has just been done.

Is there a command to do this?

Thanks.

Hi Leo,

I have to confess to not being an expert in DIAdem. Fortunately, this does seem to be a documented issue. The following knowledge base article describes why the values don't refresh automatically and what command you can use to fix it.
