rainflow confusion

Solved!

Hello,

 

I'm attempting to create a rainflow analysis of some data for a stress analysis, I'd like results in the form x=amplitude, y=mean and z=number of cycles. I would like to bin the data so there are 16 bins for the mean and 64 bins for the range. Having used the rainflow option in DIAdem I am quite confused by the outputs, and how they relate to the ouputs I'd like.

 

I've read http://forums.ni.com/ni/board/message?board.id=60&message.id=6159 , however, when I try to use the script provided to change from a FROM-TO matrix to a RANGE-MEAN matrix the script provides an analysis of an example for time, speed, revs and torque, which I don't quite understand where this comes from having looked through the VB. 

 

Apologies if this is a stupid question for something which probably has been answered previously, but I am mystified by DIAdem's outputs on this.

 

The input data is in the form;
