Date help created: 12 Jun 1994 Date last updated: 04 Jul 1994'combine' combines two (or possibly more) data files into one output file, using some combining function.
The input data files must be blocked, and not deflated.
To run the program type
combine <combine script file>
The combine script file must have the following format:
input 1 <par file of input data file 1> input 2 <par file of input data file 2> ... input <N> <par file of input data file N> output <output (combined) data file> par <par file of output data file> ! this is optional <combining function> <combining arguments>
The list of combining functions can be obtained by typing
combine help functions
The following are currently the possible combining functions, listed without their argument(s).
To find more details of these combining functions, type
combine help <combining function>
for example,
combine help gradient
The 'gradient' combining function is used to combine a p-type and n-type gradient experiment. The combining must be done on the raw data, i.e. before any other processing (e.g. Fourier transform) is done.
The correct syntax in the combining script file is
gradient <gradient dimension>
and a typical example would be
input 1 /usr/people/wb104/edl387/edl387_5.bin_p.par input 2 /usr/people/wb104/edl387/edl387_5.bin_n.par output /usr/people/wb104/edl387/edl387_5.bin gradient 2 ! 'gradient' dimension is dim. 2
This combines a p-type and an n-type gradient experiment for which the gradient is done in dimension 2.
The 'add' combining function is used to add from two up to four data files.
The correct syntax in the combining script file is
add
and a typical example would be
input 1 /usr/people/wb104/edl387/edl387_5.spc1.par input 2 /usr/people/wb104/edl387/edl387_5.spc2.par output /usr/people/wb104/edl387/edl387_5.spc12 add ! add two input data sets
This adds the two named data sets.
The 'subtract' combining function is used to subtract two data files.
The correct syntax in the combining script file is
subtract
and a typical example would be
input 1 /usr/people/wb104/edl387/edl387_5.spc1.par input 2 /usr/people/wb104/edl387/edl387_5.spc2.par output /usr/people/wb104/edl387/edl387_5.spc12 subtract ! subtract data set 2 from data set 1
This subtracts the second data file from the first.
