SDFTOSDF
Extracts a subset of results from an SDF file <sfile> and creates another SDF file <dfile>. The type of
spacing and number of points for the results may be modified through resampling using polynomial or
spline interpolation. (See chapter 2.)
Syntax SDFTOSDF <sfile> <dfile> [/U] [/O] [/I] [/D:<data>] [/S:<scans>] [/R:<row>] [/C:<col>]
[/E:<pts>] [/P:<pts>] [/L:<pts>] [/T:<type>] [/N:<pts>] [/X:<first>,<last>]
[/B:<rec>] [/G:<gap>] [/A:<add>] [/F:<form>,<data>] [/M:[cfile] [,<comSz>]] [/V]
[/Q:[uniq]]
Options
<sfile> Source path and file name for SDF file.
<dfile> Destination path and file for SDF file.
/U Show help (usage information) for this command.
/O Overwrites <dfile> if it exists.
/I Show information only on <sfile>, including data result number, result name, the
number of rows, columns, scans available, the number of data points, and type of X
spacing between data points.
/D:<data> Extract data only for the specified data result (see figure 2-1). If not specified, then
all results in <sfile> will be selected.
/S:<scans> Extract data only for the specified scan (see figure 2-3). If not specified, then all
scans in <sfile> will be selected. Either a single scan (e.g. /S:0 for scan 0) or a
range of scans (e.g. /S:0-4 for scans 0 thru 4) may be selected.
/R:<row> Extract data only for the specified row (see figure 2-2). If not specified, then all
rows in <sfile> will be selected.
/C:<col> Select column within result. If not specified, then all columns in <sfile> will
be selected.
/E:<pts> Interpolate to the specified number of lin/log evenly spaced points. The X data is
scanned to determine if the data is approximately linear or log spaced. If the
number of points is not specified, then the original number of points in the data
result is maintained. This is useful if you want to do math or curve fit swept sine
data, or examine results with a large number of lines of resolution on an analyzer
that is limited to fewer lines.
