DataSet

The data set with calendar time values in which to search for periods.

Permitted data structures are data series, signal und signal series. All numeric data types are permitted.

If the argument is a list, then the function is executed for each element of the list and the result is also a list.

Criterion

Specifies which date element the search is to be based on.

The argument Criterion can have the following values:

If the argument is a list, then the first element in the list is taken. If this is also a list, then the process is repeated.

Position

If you are searching in a signal, this is the X value where the search is to start. The value itself is not included in the search. If you are searching a data series, this is the index of the value where the search is to start. The index itself is not included in the search. A negative index determines a position relative to the end of the data set. If you omit the argument or pass the value Empty, the search starts at the beginning or end of the data set, depending on the direction of the search. The first or last value of the data set is only taken into account if you omit the argument or pass the Empty value.

Permitted data structures are scalar value. All numeric data types are permitted. The unit has to be compatible with that of parameter DataSet.

For complex data types the absolute value is formed.

If the argument is a list, then the function is executed for each element of the list and the result is also a list.

LowerBound

Specifies the lower limit of the time segment. If you specify a value with a unit, this unit must match the selected date element.

Permitted data structures are scalar value. All real data types are permitted.

If the argument is a list, then the function is executed for each element of the list and the result is also a list.

UpperBound

Specifies the upper limit of the time segment. If you specify a value with a unit, this unit must match the selected date element.

Permitted data structures are scalar value. All real data types are permitted.

If the argument is a list, then the function is executed for each element of the list and the result is also a list.

Direction

Sets the search direction of the function.

The argument Direction can have the following values:

If the argument is a list, then the first element in the list is taken. If this is also a list, then the process is repeated.

If this argument is omitted, it will be set to the default value EVENT_RIGHT.
