FakeData

FakeData (waveName)​

The FakeData function puts fake data in the named wave, which must be single-precision float. This is useful for testing things that require changing data before you have the source for the eventual real data. FakeData can be useful in a background task expression.

The FakeData function is not multidimensional aware. See Multidimensional Waves, particularly Analysis on Multidimensional Waves for details.

Examples​

Make/N=200 wave0; Display wave0
SetBackground FakeData(wave0)	// define background task
CtrlBackground period=60, start	// start background task

// observe the graph for a while
CtrlBackground stop	// stop the background task
