Apart from being created by the many algorithms in the LTPDA Toolbox, AOs can also be created from initial data or descriptions of data.

Files ending in '.txt' or '.dat' will be handled as ASCII file inputs. The first column is taken to be the time instances; the second column is taken to be the amplitude samples. The created AO is of type <tt>tsdata</tt> with the sample rate set by the difference between the time-stamps of the first two samples in the file. The name of the resulting AO is set to the filename (without the file extension). The filename is also stored as a parameter in the history parameter list. The following code shows this in action:</p> <div class="fragment"><pre> >> a = ao(<span class="string">'data.txt'</span>) ----------- ao 01: data.txt_01_02 ----------- name: data.txt_01_02 data: (0,-1.06421341288933) (0.1,1.60345729812004) (0.2,1.23467914689078) ... -------- tsdata 01 ------------ fs: 10 x: [100 1], double y: [100 1], double dx: [0 0], double dy: [0 0], double xunits: [s] yunits: [] nsecs: 10 t0: 1970-01-01 00:00:00.000 ------------------------------- hist: ao / ao / SId: fromDatafile ... $-->$Id: ao ...
