Overlapping sequential data sets

 

mixseq Mix two event data sets
-k1 <time1> ordering keys for data 1
-d1 <data1> source data 1
-k2 <time2> ordering keys for data 2
-d2 <data2> source data 2
-dout <dataout> target data

This operation overlaps two event data sets <data1> and <data2> based on the orders defined through the corresponding key data sets <key1> and <key2>. The principle is presented in the figure below. mixseq assumes that the data sets have been ordered according to the key frame in ascending order. Then, it compares the "time" frames and collects mixed codes to the target frame. New fields in the target data are named using the names of data frames and fields (<data>_<field>). In addition, the operation creates a field called time to target data frame, into which the matched points are stored.
