Hi, I am really stuck and struggling to find a solution for my problem. I have two datasets one positioning and one echosounder pings. Here is what the extracted positioning dataset looks like:
%Position Datenum, Lat (Degrees, Minutes), Lon (Degrees, Min), Orthrometric Height, Ellipsoidal Height
"07:09:20:08:06:27.798" 4957.09105400000 616.902179000000 2.27400000000000 54.2000000000000

My other dataset is a datenum dataset which took timings of each ping and both datasets are in a double matrix array, I also have them in a table array. The positioning times are a lot more frequent (9 times a second) compared to pings (3 times a second). The only common variable between the two is the datenum, I have been trying to match up my positioning times with my ping times but with no luck. What i need to have is an output of positioning datenum, lat, long, and both heights, with correctly matched up ping times. I have tried using ismembertol which does work but I need to have both times matched up and next to each other with an accuracy of +/- 1 second whilst also ignoring the lines with NaN's in them as I don't want those matched up. I think this would require a loop but I am unsure how to write that so any help/suggestions would be very appreciated.
Here is the commands that I have been trying to get to work:
I've been trying to do this for the past few days when I could but with no luck so any help or suggestions would be very appreciated
[found, where] = ismembertol(time, ping_time, 'ByRows', true) %this one outputs matching rows as 0 and 1's but I am unsure how to save the matched up values in a new array which would then have 6 columns
time_join = join(latlondata, pingtable, 'keys', 'pingtime') % this one just didn't work I have also tried synchronize which didn't work at all
The final output I want is the matched up data pasted above with a column of datenum from the ping data. Both datasets are different lengths and many of the functions I tried want it to be the same so I am unsure how to go about this. The datenums need to be matched up as accurately as possible within a second. Thank you for reading and taking the time to help it's incredibly appreciated.

Darnya, I'm not sure what you are asking. I ran your code, including the two commented-out lines that rmmissing from TT1 and TT2. TT1 starts something like an hour earlier than TT2, so there are many rows that won't match TT2. And even over their common range of times, the timestamps are off by tenths or hundredths of seconds.
>> TT1.Time.Format = "dd-MMM-uuuu HH:mm:ss.SSS";
>> TT2.Time.Format = "dd-MMM-uuuu HH:mm:ss.SSS";
>> TT1(timerange("07-Sep-2020 08:06:26","07-Sep-2020 08:06:30"),:)

So you can't just call synchronize with no parameters and expect to get something useful. synchronize by default uses the union of the times, and fills non matches with missing. You will need to do something like this:
>> TT3 = synchronize(TT1, TT2, 'last', 'nearest');
>> head(TT3)

But I have no idea specifically what you will need to do. Do you want the result to use the timestamps from TT1, or TT2, or both? Do you want to attach the data from rows with the nearest timestamps from TT2 to rows of TT1, or vice versa? Do you want to interpolate values from TT2 to match TT1's timestamps? You need to look at thedoc for synchronize and figure all that out.
Also, this char vector
Ping = repmat('ping', length(ping_time), 1);
is probably not a good idea. For one thing, it's the same text in every element. If you really want it, use "ping" instead. If there can be other things besides "pinfsz", you should consider using categorical.
