Unexpected nested arrays after using lookup

Unexpected nested arrays after using lookup

Hi! I am using the lookup function in MathCAD 14.0. Specifically I have a file containing the results of a FFT performed by the oscilloscope I have connected to an amplifier I am testing and wish to extract and compare the harmonics generated as the amplifier is overloaded.

I can read the file and plot the FFT. I know the frequencies at which I wish to record the signal levels and create an array Fpk with those frequencies in it. This is then used with the two single column arrays (frequency and amplitude(dBm)) into a lookup equation to generate the variable Peaks. I expect Peaks to be another single column array but the lookup returns an array of 1x1 arrays.

What am I missing? Am I do something incorrectly? How do I convert from the array of 1x1 arrays to a single column array?

Any help will be gratefully accepted.

Like below? Use the zero subcript.

Mike,

Thanks for that. Probably easy when you know how!

Many thanks again.

Martin.

Yes it certainly is.

It's because the Lookup functions return the answer as a Matrix.
