Certainly! In MATLAB, you can convert the timestamp data from the cell array into double values representing seconds. Here's how you can do it:
% Assuming your timestamp data is stored in a cell array called 'timestamps'
timestamps = {'00:01', '00:04', '00:07', '00:10', '00:12', '00:15', '02:17'};
% Initialize an array to store the converted values
timestamps_seconds = zeros(size(timestamps));
% Iterate over each timestamp and convert it to seconds
for i = 1:numel(timestamps)
% Split the timestamp string into minutes and seconds
time_parts = split(timestamps{i}, ':');
% Convert minutes and seconds to double values
minutes = str2double(time_parts{1});
seconds = str2double(time_parts{2});
% Calculate the total time in seconds
total_seconds = minutes * 60 + seconds;
% Store the result in the array
timestamps_seconds(i) = total_seconds;
end
% Now you have the timestamps in double format, representing seconds
disp(timestamps_seconds);
This code snippet takes your cell array of timestamps, splits each timestamp into minutes and seconds, converts them to double values, and calculates the total time in seconds. The resulting timestamps in seconds are stored in the timestamps_seconds array.
You can now use the timestamps_seconds array to plot against your other variables.
