Good afternoon,
I am using the following to code to plot the output from an optical encoder:
import numpy as np
from numpy import ma, logical_or
import pylab
from pylab import *
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
from matplotlib.ticker import AutoMinorLocator
import sys
# Defining x and y minorlocator
xminorLocator=AutoMinorLocator()
yminorLocator=AutoMinorLocator()
# Load data from .txt file
data = np.loadtxt('2014_12_04-16_30_03.txt',skiprows = 0 ,usecols = (0,1))
print "\n Chopper Test for X-SPEC Prototype"
print "\n Time (sec) Pos (deg)"
print data
# Place column data in array to be plotted
time = np.array(data[:,0])
print "Time (sec):"
#print time
pos = np.array(data[:,1])
print "Position (deg):"
print pos
# Setting minor ticks
ax = plt.subplot(111)
ax.xaxis.set_minor_locator(xminorLocator)
ax.yaxis.set_minor_locator(yminorLocator)
#Plotting commands.
subplot(2,1,1)
plot(time, pos, 'ro')
title('Encoder Output')
ylabel('Pos (deg)')
subplot(2,1,2)
plot(t_small, pos, 'ro')
xlabel('Time (sec)')
ylabel('Pos (deg)')
show()
The desired result is a square wave, but this is not readily available from
the plot (see attached). For the subplot(2,1,2) I would like to plot the
output over a 5 second interval so that the behaviour becomes more evident.
Can someone please advise me as to the easiest way isolate the first 5
seconds of data?
Thank you.
