Understanding a different usage of .spline() in my experiment data export

Anda

Hi everyone,

I’m currently working on my annual experiment and need to export some intermediate results for reporting. While doing the export, I came across another usage of spline:rmSpline = data.spline(settings['ReferenceMaterial'], ratioToCalibrateName).data().
This is different from the spline usage I’ve seen before. Previously, you kindly helped me understand one form of spline, which cleared up a lot of confusion. But now I’m puzzled again by this new form.

Could you explain the principle behind this particular usage of spline? I’d like to understand it clearly so I can logically explain the intermediate results in my report.

Thanks in advance for your insights!

Hi @Anda

That function is used to return the spline values, as a TimeSeries object, for a given reference material and channel. Because it is a TimeSeries object, the time values are retrieved using .time() and the data values are retrieved using .data() (as in your example line).

I hope that helps? Sorry it's not currently in the documentation. I'll add it now.

Kind regards,
Bence
