Merging Traces

With the function MergeTraces you can merge multiple waveforms into one waveform. This can be useful if you want to separate specific events from your measured curve. You are also able to pick single events from a Multiblock measurement and put specific blocks into a new waveform.

Merge events from Continuous Measurement into another trace

If you have a continuous measurement which is fairly long and just have several events which are interesting then you can merge those events into a new trace (tpc5). The function MergeTraces will help you with this task.
