`setuniformtime`

Replaces the time vector of a timeseries with evenly spaced times.

Category: Language Fundamentals > Data Types

Syntax

ts = setuniformtime(ts, 'StartTime', t0, 'Interval', dt)

Sets times t0, t0+dt, t0+2*dt, ....

ts = setuniformtime(ts, 'StartTime', t0, 'EndTime', t1)

Spreads the samples evenly between t0 and t1.

Description

Only the time vector is rewritten; the data values keep their order. Because a uniform series stores just the start and the interval, it uses less memory than one with an explicit time vector.

Input arguments

'StartTime': Time of the first sample.
'Interval': Spacing between samples.
'EndTime': Time of the last sample.

Output arguments

ts: The series with the new, uniform time vector. The data are unchanged.

Example

ts = timeseries([1 2 3]', [0 1 2]);
ts = setuniformtime(ts, 'StartTime', 10, 'Interval', 2);
ts.Time'

Output

ans = 1×3

    10    12    14
