Dear All, Thanks to Jana and Oliver for their help.
Jana is correct: I could probably do this without using the batch agenda; I do not think I am doing anything which fundamentally prevents this. But I could not work out how to do that either 🙁 . I will probably try to sort that out at some point. Meanwhile, Oliver's hints have enabled me to get it working by using the batch agenda. Best wishes, Hugh ________________________________ From: Jana Mendrok <jana.mend...@gmail.com> Sent: 18 July 2019 13:59 To: PUMPHREY Hugh Cc: arts_users.mi@lists.uni-hamburg.de Subject: Re: [arts-users] Extract element from vector Hi Hugh, you are probably doing things in the batch agenda, that make you require or prefer a batch agenda. But if it's just about multiple LOS - they can also be done in a single, non-batch run (that's why sensor_los is a matrix; one of it's dimensions is the number of LOS, or in a more general way the "number of measurement blocks" as the doc calls it).

The relevant bit of my control file goes: VectorCreate(my_loses) VectorSet(my_loses, [180,170,160,150,140,130]) Print(my_loses) IndexSet(ybatch_n,7) AgendaSet(ybatch_calc_agenda){ Extract(sensor_los,my_loses,ybatch_index) Print( ybatch_index, 0 ) Print( sensor_los, 0 ) ## Actual calculations including iyCalc go here } But I get an error in the Extract() method which says: Workspace variable belongs to the wrong group: my_loses is not ArrayOfMatrix, it is Vector At the root of this is that sensor_los is a matrix, even though it has only one element. I have tried a few other combinations of creating a matrix instead of a vector and/or using Select() instead of Extract() to extract a value from it. Select() was no good because ybatch_index is an index, not an array of index. What am I doing wrong? How do I create a 1-D array of numbers which Extract() will extract a single value from? I am sure I am being really dim here :-( Best wishes Hugh Pumphrey The University of Edinburgh is a charitable body, registered in Scotland, with registration number SC005336. _______________________________________________ arts_users.mi mailing list arts_users.mi@lists.uni-hamburg.de<mailto:arts_users.mi@lists.uni-hamburg.de> https://mailman.rrz.uni-hamburg.de/mailman/listinfo/arts_users.mi -- ================================================================= Jana Mendrok, Ph.D. Deutscher Wetterdienst Frankfurter Str. 135 63067 Offenbach am Main, Germany Email: jana.mend...@dwd.de<mailto:jana.mend...@dwd.de> Phone : +49 (0)69 8062 3139 =================================================================
