The commands in this menu can be added to a Script window to automate the execution of these and other ME'scope commands.

Curve Fit | Number of Modes

Sets the number of modes to be used by the Frequency & Damping curve fitting methods.

Parameter

1. Number of Modes

Curve Fit | Mode Indicator

Calculates a Mode Indicator, and sets the noise threshold level on the Mode Indicator graph.

Parameter

1. Mode Indicator (CMIF CMIF is an acronym for Complex Mode Indicator Function. A peak in a CMIF curve indicates a resonance, or mode of vibration. Peaks on multiple CMIFs are used to indentify closely coupled modes and repeated roots. or MMIF MMIF is an acronym for Multivariate Mode Indicator Function. Each peak in an MMIF is an indication of a resonance or mode of vibration. Peaks in multiple MMIFs will indicate closely coupled modes and repeated roots.)

2. Data used to calculate Indicator (real, imaginary, magnitude)

3. Threshold (10 to 90)

Curve Fit | Count Peaks

Calculates a Mode Indicator, counts the peaks above the noise threshold on a Mode Indicator graph, and sets the number on the Modes box on the Frequency & Damping tab equal to the peaks counted.

Parameters

1. Mode Indicator (CMIF or MMIF)

2. Data used to calculate Indicator (real, imaginary, magnitude)

Curve Fit | Frequency and Damping

Estimates modal frequency & damping using all (or current cursor band) data from all (or selected)  M#s in the Data Block, for the current number in the Modes box on the Frequency & Damping tab.

Parameters

1. Method (global polynomial, local polynomial)

2. Extra numerator terms (0 to 8)

Curve Fit | Residues

Estimates modal residues using all (or selected) modes in the Modal Parameters spreadsheet, using data from all (or selected) M#s in the Data Block.

Parameter

• Method (polynomial, peak, AF polynomial)
