copy()

Makes a copy of a multi-dimensional data variable

Syntax
y = copy(DataVar)

Arguments

Name	Description	Type	Required
DataVar	data variable or array that is to be copied	boolean, integer, real, complex, string	yes

Examples

result = copy(S21)
returns the copy of the data stored in the data variable S21
The array or data variable created above can be used as follows:
indepV = indep(result,"Index");
result[0] = complex(1, 2); Sets the first value to a complex number
indepV[0] = 1GHz;

Notes/Equations

Makes a copy of a multi-dimensional data variable, so that the contents of the copy can be manipulated. Data Variables in ADS/RFDE are data strcutures that are used to hold multi-dimensional data. Internally they are not implemented as arrays, and therefore do not have the performance of an array. Accessing and setting data in these arrays are performance intensive and should be noted.
