Hi, I'm struggleing to phase a question so I can search the help file. I have two instruments producing 1 second data and I want to compare the out put directly, but as with all instrumentation, ocationaly, one instrument will drop a second so the two outputs are slightly mismatched in places. I am looking for a command whcih will allow me to create one time stamp with 2 columns of data with blanks where no data is available.
Example
data I have
data stream 1,,data stream 2,
17:31:01,333,17:31:01,332
17:31:02,345,17:31:02,344
17:31:04,321,17:31:03,326
17:31:05,365,17:31:05,363
17:31:06,352,17:31:06,358
17:31:07,389,17:31:08,381
data I want
Time,instrument1,instrument 2,
17:31:01,333,332,
17:31:02,345,344,
17:31:03,,326,
17:31:04,321,,
17:31:05,365,363,
17:31:06,352,358,
17:31:07,389,,
17:31:08,,381,
I'm not realy sure what to call this type of operation or if in fact matlab already has a command for this. I just feel like there should be one! Any help greatfully received.
