<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />I am doing experiments where I create timeseries for each run, i.e. I have a laser measuring distance and each run is executed under different circumstances.
I would like to check whether there are some patterns and hence would like to use overlay plots.
The challenge for which I am seeking help is that the time axis (X) - for each run is different. Because of this, I did not manage to join the 2 tables.
I am attending a couple of datatables, each for 1 run.
- The column to match is time: range from 0 to about 1500 [ms] - intervals are multiples of 0.125 [ms]
- Number of datapoints per run is about 60 to 130
- I would like to plot height or C-2-C (time distance to previous point) and have this as an overlay plot for the different runs
- Because the starting point is not controlled, measurements may start at different timings - it would be ok to rescale to have the first measurement at time = 0.000 [ms]
How could I do this using JMP?

Woke up with a simple idea that works
- Create a dummy table with time (0 to 1200 with 0.125 intervals).
- join this table with any of the runs, one at a time.
Below picture is an plot using the graph builder - it indeed suggests there might be a pattern.

Here's an approach that's hard-coded to the 4 tables listed above. Zeroes out each time column using the first time.
tbl_list = {"2013-05-02_18-34-27_peaks", "2013-05-02_18-35-09_peaks", "2013-05-02_18-35-26_peaks",
"2013-05-02_18-35-45_peaks"};
for (i = 1, i <= nitems(tbl_list), i++,
dt = data table(tbl_list[i]);
dt << new column("Dataset", Character, nominal, << set each value (tbl_list[i]));
dt << new column("Adj Time", numeric, continuous);
zero_time = dt:Time[1];
for (k = 1, k <= nrows(dt), k++,
dt:Adj Time[k] = dt:Time[k] - zero_time;
);
);
Data Table( "2013-05-02_18-34-27_peaks" ) <<
Concatenate(
Data Table( "2013-05-02_18-35-45_peaks" ),
Data Table( "2013-05-02_18-35-26_peaks" ),
Data Table( "2013-05-02_18-35-09_peaks" ),
Output Table( "All Peak Tables" )
);
