TimeSeries

This class generates a series of points in time. The series is always sorted in ascending order. Depending of the application the series is interpreted as list of points or as intervals between the points.

UniformSampling

Generates a time series with uniform sampling. The first point in time will be timeStart. The last generated point in time will be less or equal timeEnd. The time step between generated points in time is given by sampling.

Name	Type	Annotation
timeStart	time	first point in time
timeEnd	time	last point in time will be less or equal timeEnd
sampling	time	time step between points in time

UniformInterval

Generates a time series with uniform sampling between timeStart and timeEnd. intervallCount gives the count of intervals. This class generates count+1 points in time inclusive timeStart and timeEnd.

Name	Type	Annotation
timeStart	time	1st point of the time series
timeEnd	time	last point of the time series
intervalCount	uint	count of intervals, count+1 points in time will generated

Irregular

The points of the time series are given explicitly with time.

Name	Type	Annotation
time	time	explicit list of points in time

Monthly

If monthMiddle is set, time points are generated at mid of each month inclusively the monthStart in yearStart and monthEnd in yearEnd. Otherwise times are given at the first of each month and a time point after the last month.

Name	Type	Annotation
monthStart	uint
yearStart	uint
monthEnd	uint
yearEnd	uint
useMonthMiddle	boolean	time points are mid of months, otherwise the 1st of each month + a time point behind the last month

Yearly

If yearMiddle is set, time points are generated at mid of each year inclusively yearStart and yearEnd. Otherwise times are given at the first of each year and a time point after the last year.

Name	Type	Annotation
yearStart	uint
yearEnd	uint
useYearMiddle	boolean	time points are mid of years, otherwise the 1st of each year + a time point behind the last year

EveryMonth

Generates a time series with monthly sampling. The first point in time will be timeStart and the following points are generated for each month at the same day and time in month. The last generated point in time will be less or equal timeEnd.

Name	Type	Annotation
timeStart	time	first point in time
timeEnd	time	last point in time will be less or equal timeEnd

EveryYear

Generates a time series with yearly sampling. The first point in time will be timeStart and the following points are generated for each year at the same day and time in year. The last generated point in time will be less or equal timeEnd.

Name	Type	Annotation
timeStart	time	first point in time
timeEnd	time	last point in time will be less or equal timeEnd

Instrument

Read a time series (epochs) from an instrument file. The time series can be restricted to the interval starting from timeStart and before timeEnd.

Name	Type	Annotation
inputfileInstrument	filename
timeStart	time	exclude peochs before this epoch
timeEnd	time	only epochs before this time are used

InstrumentArcIntervals

Reconstruct a time series from an instrument file. The time series is the first epoch of each arc plus one time step beyond the last epoch of the last arc (using median sampling).

Name	Type	Annotation
inputfileInstrument	filename	Must be regular. Time series is first epoch of each arc plus one time step extrapolated from last epoch of last arc.

Revolution

Reads an orbit file and create a time stamp for each ascending equator crossing. The time series can be restricted to the interval starting from timeStart and before timeEnd.

Name	Type	Annotation
inputfileOrbit	filename
timeStart	time	exclude peochs before this epoch
timeEnd	time	only epochs before this time are used

Exclude

In a first step a timeSeries is generated. In a second step all times are removed which are in range before or after excludeMargin seconds of the times given by timeSeriesExclude.

Name	Type	Annotation
timeSeries	timeSeries	time series to be created
timeSeriesExclude	timeSeries	exclude this time points from time series (within margin)
excludeMargin	double	on both sides [seconds]

Conditional

Only times for which the condition is met are included in the time series. The variableLoopTime is set to every time and the condition is evaluated.

Name	Type	Annotation
timeSeries	timeSeries	only times for which condition is met will be included
variableLoopTime	string	variable with time of each loop
condition	condition	test for each time

Interpolate

Interpolates nodeInterpolation count points between the given timeSeries uniformly.

Name	Type	Annotation
timeSeries	timeSeries	time series to be created
nodeInterpolation	uint	interpolates count points in each time interval given by the time series
