Applying Extra Options to Data Requests

APPLYING EXTRA OPTIONS TO DATA REQUESTS

Extra options can be used after a data component extraction, or a curve operation. After the basic request for a particuar component and particular entity have been made, the following extra data on the line is recognised to manipulate the curve further. This includes options to label a curve, scale it, write it out and so on.

Each request is executed in the order on the line, if the curve label is used, it must be the last input on the line.

e.g. no 54 accel mag xsc 1000 ysc 0.0001 hic lab Head Accn
(node i.d. 54) (accel mag) (scale x and y) (obtain hic value) (curve label)
no 1 accel mag filter c60 append output.cur
(node i.d. 1) (accel mag) (filter with C60) (append the curve to a file)
no 1 accel mag tag node_1_acc
(node i.d. 1) (accel mag) (tag the curve "node_1_acc" for ease of use later in the script)

Description extra option word following word #1 following word #2 notes
3ms clip 3ms - - Curve is squared and then square rooted to remove -ve values
Curve is truncated around 3ms values - only 3ms part is left
Append into file app filename - Appends into curve file, if it doesn't exist - create it
Combine com curve #2 - Y-value curve #1 vs X-value curve #2
Copy into file cop filename - Copy will overwrite any previous instance of the file
Error function err curve #2 -
HIC hic, hic15, hicd - - Curve is squared and then square rooted to remove -ve values, an identical curve is outputted
Filtering fil fir -
c60
c180

X scale factor xsc scale factor -
Y scale factor ysc scale factor -
Label lab label word #1 label word #2 etc Keyword and label must be at the end of the line
Reference tag tag tag word - Invalid words: "style", "xax", "yax", "title"
ASCII file request ASC - -
LSDA file request LSD - -
THF file request THF - -
XTF file request XTF - -

Using extra options on multiple curve outputs

From T/HIS 9.2 onwards, multiple curve outputs can be generated from one FAST-TCF input line. Unfortunately most of the extra options displayed below will NOT work on these multiple outputs. However, support has been added to allow tagging and labeling of all the multiple curves outputted in one go (see Tagging multiple curve outputs).
