AMPDIST

Purpose:

Finds the amplitude distribution of a specific series.

Syntax:

AMPDIST(series, deltay)

series

-

Any series, table, or expression evaluating to a series or table.

deltay

-

The y increment or "bucket size." The smaller the delta-y value, the greater the number of amplitude ranges that will be defined and hence, the greater the number of points in the resulting series.

Returns:

A series or table.

Example:

W1: {1.0, 1.5, 2.0, 2.5, 3.0}

W2: ampdist(W1, 0.7)

 

returns a series containing the points {2.0, 1.0, 2.0} indicating that in W1 there are:

 

· 2 point values between 1.0 and 1.7

· 1 point value between 1.7 and 2.4

· 2 point values between 2.4 and 3.1
