Clip Y / Amplitude Limits / Remove Spikes

Clip Y just caught me on something I guess I didn't see in the help file.

Clip Y actually removes points, and the resultant data set gets compressed into the "empty holes". Is that essentially correct? It seems to have worked that way. If so, I may not have been the only one caught - maybe a warning in the dialog would be appropriate?

Does "Remove Random Spikes" work the same way, ie, compressing the data set where the spikes were removed?

Amplitude Limits might work better, but I would like to specify limits for individual curve sets. If I'm using multiple axes because I have a wide variation in amplitude between the data sets, Amplitude Limits does not allow me to define a limit that is useful.

So I guess I'm asking for a way to set Amplitude Limits by curve set(s), which will come in handy when more than 2 y-axes becomes available

.

I just checked something again. Clip Y only deletes the points - IT DOES NOT COMPRESS the data set. So for now, this works as I had hoped.

But now I'm a little confused about the distinction between ClipY and Amplitude Limits. Must be ClipY actually deletes points in the data set, but AL leaves them there but doesn't show them. Will think about it.

Yes, that's correct.

I'll add that to my list.

And you are worried about lists growing and GROWING and GROWING!

Thanks for the replies.
