See WAVE's default menu file for examples of passing WAVE's menu variables as command-line arguments to other programs.
Click on in WAVE's
Analyze window if you need to use these variables within a shell
script. (If you are not using csh or tcsh, edit the WAVE
menu file first to select the alternate definition of this action.)
Once the variables have been exported, they may be used in the same
way as any other environment variables within your shell scripts. For
example, the time of the left edge of the signal window is
$LEFT. Within a C program, read the values of these variables using
getenv; for example, getenv("LEFT") returns the (string)
value of the time of the left edge of the signal window. Note that
the exported values are only a snapshot of the variables at the time
you click on
; the values do not track later
actions performed within WAVE.
