� «Interpolation»
In the list, select «Linearly» for straight lines from point to point of the fixed data set points;
select «Without» for two orthogonal lines from point to point, which are parallel to the coordinate
axes.
«Delay [s]»
Defines the initial delay of the 2D lookup table. Common parameter type. Enter a numerical
value, a variable, or an expression in the text box.
� � «Period [s]»
If the box is checked, the period is defined by the value entered in the text box, otherwise the
period is defined from the last X value in the lookup table.
«Phase [deg]»
Defines the phase shift of the 2D lookup table function. Common parameter type. Enter a numerical
value, a variable, or an expression in the text box.
� «Angular Dimension»
In the list, select radians or degrees. The dimension is applied to the phase.
� «Periodical»
In the list, select «Yes» for a periodical 2D table function; select «No» for carrying out only
one period corresponding to the defined data pairs and period. After them the function is continued
with the last slope.
� «File Name»
If no file name is used, you have to define data-pairs in the table on the right side. Create,
delete, or move entries with the symbols placed on the upper right side. The time (X value)
must be monotonous rising. See also “Defining Parameters” on page 49.
� «File Name»
To define the data points, a two-dimensional data file is used which can be created by the
DAY Post Processor or a text editor. The XY-data file always has two channels (columns)
where time (X value) and magnitude (Y value) are stored. The length (number of lines) of the
data files is arbitrary. To open or save files, click the symbols next to the text box. Please note:
Select the correct file filter (.mdx) before browsing. See also “The .mdx File Format” on page
467.
Click the button to display the 2D lookup table with the defined values. Please note: If you
use variables for the definition, the preview is empty.
