Hi Dan,<br>
<br>
It sounds like each channel has its own sample rate (or is
asynchronous).<br>
<br>
In cases like this I use the channel with the highest sample rate
for the time stamp. Then for all other channels I use the old value
until it is updated.<br>
<br>
For example<br>
<br>
timestamp, data_x, data_y, data_z<br>
0, 10, 10, 10<br>
1, 20, 10, 10<br>
2, 30, 20, 10<br>
3, 40, 20, 10<br>
4, 50, 30, 10<br>
5, 60, 30, 10<br>
6, 70, 40, 10<br>
7, 80, 40, 10<br>
8, 90, 50, 10<br>
9, 100, 50, 20<br>
<br>
In this case data_x updates at the fast rate, data_y updates at half
of data_x and data_y updates at 1/10 of data_x.<br>
<br>
Would this work in your case?<br>
<br>

<div dir="ltr">I have kst2 working with single
plot stream... that works very nicely. At
this point, I'm using space as separator
between fields.
<div><br>
</div>
<div>However, we have a couple of data streams
which contain multiple data (x, y, z); in
this situation, what our data would look
like is ( timestamp, data), but the data
would be one of { data_x, data_y, data_z }.
In other words, the data stream that I
receive from the hardware, delivers data_x,
data_y, data_z in separate messages, with
different timestamps.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I want kst2 to read this ascii data file
and plot 3 separate graphs on one plot. </div>
<div>I'm a little confused about how to do
this, though; </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>for example, say I have a line with data
for data_z; this will look something like:</div>
<div>timestamp data_z </div>
<div>however, I want one file to contain data
for all three streams, so I'm guessing I
need to have empty fields for the
not-relevant data; maybe something like:</div>
<div>timestamp unused_x unused_y data_z</div>
<div>timestamp unused_x data_y unused_z</div>
<div>etc...</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>So first off, I probably have to use a
different separator rather than space for
separator; but even with comma, I still have
a problem; for example:</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>timestamp, 0, 0, data_z</div>
<div>timestamp, 0, data_y, 0</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Except that in some cases, 0 is valid
data; I *think* I need some way to represent
"invalid data" in the unused fields.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Is this understandable?? How do I handle
this??</div>
