Equations, Integrations, Generated Traces

[mccabec]

Equations, integrations, generated traces, and notes with embedded place savers should carry over in saved preferences so that when I open a new file and get preferences, I won't have to do all the analysis over again. I have several hundred files to analyze and this is getting tedious. Right now all that survives is labels, colors, and the traces that correspond to the data columns in the file before I start analyzing.

Maybe there is already a way to get this to happen, but I haven't found it yet.

Great program though.

It would also be great if I could save operations and commands in places like "Extents/Intervals/Size" such as "$XMIN(1)" and "$XMAX(1)", and have those save in preferences too. I have data columns with several million data points, and the event to be analyzed only occurs in a small portion of that. They occur once per file but at different times and for different durations. The dreamy way to do this would be to open the file and trim the sample out with "crop" - while all the scaling and analysis are taken care of by pulling up preferences. I don't know if asking too much. I have been looking into writing macro's, but that's new to me and not straightforward in getting it to run through the client/server thing. Do you guys offer any classes?

Sorry, but that's not going to happen. The main reason is that an equation, integration, etc. isn't necessarily the end result for that curve. You might edit specific points, run a filter, or some other manipulation. And you might do it many, many times. What you want is a sequence of all the actions you've performed, to be applied again with a new plot - that's what macros are for. No classes, but macros aren't very difficult to pick up on. One change in the Help file for the next release that I think might be helpful is that the Help description for every menu command now includes a link to the corresponding macro command. So it should be a bit easier to find the macro command you want.

This one might be doable in a future release; will have to think about it. The problem with doing this as DPlot now stands is that equations and placeholders like $XMIN are evaluated immediately for text boxes that expect numeric results, and the result is stored as a number. That differs from title lines, etc., where the actual characters used in the entry are stored.
