ValuesInInterval (FPScript)

21.09.2021

Searches a data set for values that lie in a particular interval, or searches for void values.

Syntax

ValuesInInterval(DataSet, LowerLimit, UpperLimit, [ Operation = EVENT_DEFAULT ], [ DeltaXmin ] [ , DeltaXmax ])

 

The syntax of the ValuesInInterval function consists of the following parts:

Part

Description

DataSet

The data set to be searched.

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

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.

LowerLimit

Specifies the lower limit of the interval in which the values must lie. Values that are exactly on the limit are also found.

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.

UpperLimit

Specifies the upper limit of the interval in which the values must lie. Values that are exactly on the limit are also found.

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.

Operation

Specifies the way the function operates.

The argument Operation can have the following values:

Constant

Meaning

EVENT_INDEX

The indices of the values or points meeting the condition are placed in the result data set.

EVENT_EXTRACT

Only the points or values meeting the condition are transferred into the result data set.

EVENT_SETVOID

The points or values that do not meet the condition are also included in the result data set, but there they are marked as void.

EVENT_DEFAULT

Corresponds to EVENT_SETVOID if a data matrix or signal series is present, and otherwise EVENT_INDEX.

+ EVENT_COMPLEMENT

This constant can be optionally added and then reverses the selected operation. Then, for example, for EVENT_EXTRACT, the points that do not meet the condition are copied.

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_DEFAULT.

DeltaXmin

Optionally determines the minimum duration or number of values that an event must endure to be valid. If you search within a signal, this is the X range from the first value of the event to the last value of the event. If you search within a data series, this is the minimum number of data points that the event must have.

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

DeltaXmax

Optionally determines the maximum duration or number of values that an event can endure to be valid. If you search within a signal, this is the X range from the first value of the event to the last value of the event. If you search within a data series, this is the maximum number of data points that the event can have.

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

Remarks

If you want to search for a specific value, you must specify this as the upper and lower limit. You can search for void values by setting the LowerLimit and UpperLimit to void.

Examples

ValuesInInterval({1, 5, 7, 4, 3}, 4, 5)

Results in {1L, 3L}. Results in the indices of the values that lie in the interval [4, 5].

ValuesInInterval({1, ?, 7, ?, 3}, ?, ?)

Results in {1L, 3L}. Results in the indices of the void values.

ValuesInInterval(Signal, 5.5, 5.5)

Searches the signal for all occurrences of the Y value 5.5.

ValuesInInterval({1,2,3,3,4,4}, 2, 3, EVENT_INDEX, 2 , 3)

Results in {1L, 2L, 3L}. Results in the indices of the values that lie in the interval [2, 3]. There must be at least two and not more than 3 neighboring values of the event.
