Miscellaneous functions
Single argument except as noted

askvalue
or Scope5 only) Displays a dialog box asking the user to enter a number
(real or a complex) which is returned by the function when the
user clicks OK. The argument to the function is the prompt string
to be displayed in the dialog.
isdisplayed
(for Scope5 only) Return 1if the argument is the name of a vector that is currently
displayed as a trace in Scope, otherwise 0. If the argument is a
simple vector name, the currently active plot is searched. If the
argument is a plot name, vector name combination of the form
<plotName>.<vecName>, the specified plot is searched.
norm Normalize the vector so the max of its abs is 1.0 
rnd Random integer between 0 and vec. 
pos Return 1 if vec[] > 0, else 0. 
vector Return a vector from 0 to the magnitude of the argument, where
length is the argument value caste to an integer. 
unitvec Returns a vector composed of all 1’s whose length is the argument. 
length Returns the length of the vector argument. 
interpolate Re-scales a vector from another plot to the current plot. 
phaseextend Extends phase past +-180 degrees, assumes the initial phase is
within the +-180 degree boundary. 
operatingpoint Returns the magnitude of the first element. 
getcursorx Returns the value of the cursor (x-axis scale). 
getcursory Function with 2 arguments, vec and cursor number returns the value
of the vector identified by cursor number. 
getcursory0(v(1)) Returns the vector value corresponding to cursor 0 for vector v(1). 
getcursory1(v(1)) Returns the vector value corresponding to cursor 1 for vector v(1). 
initialvalue The initial value of a vector. 
isdef Returns 0 if the argument is not a vector, else returns 1.
 finalvalue The last value of a vector.
 nextvector Enumerates a vector list, the first vector is returned if the argument
is null, null is returned at the end. The return value is an alias to the
vector. If you use the plot resolution operator, refplot.nv, then you will
enumerate the refplot vectors. 
nextplot Enumerates a plot list, the first plots vector is returned if the argument
is null, null is returned at the end. The return value is an alias to the plot
scale, do not use plot the resulution operator, plot.pl, for this vector. 
sameplot Returns 1 if a vector is in the current plot.
 	
Cursor relative functions, 
Evaluate the vector between cursor 0 and cursor 1

Operations
Between 2 values

Operation	Symbol	Example
PLUS	"+"	x = a + b
MINUS	"-"	x = a - b
TIMES	"*"	x = a * b
MOD	"%"	x = a % b - remainder of integer division
DIVIDE	"/"	x = a/b
COMMA	","	x = vreal, vimaginary
POWER	"^"	xsquared = x^2
EQ	"="	if a = b
GT	">"	if a > b
LT	"<"	if a < b
GE	">="	if a >= b
LE	"<="	if a <= b
NE	"<>"	if a <> b
AND	"&"	vand = a & b
OR	"\|"	vor = a \| b
INDX	"["	vthree = a[3]
UMINUS,	"-"	x = -b
NOT	"~"	vnand = ~vand

Assignment operators that extract the mid part of a vector

vmid=w1[(20,30)]

It makes a new vector, vmid, using elements 20 through 30
of vector w1.

vmid=w1[[(500u,600u)]]

Extracts data based on the scale vector range (time in this case) and makes a new vector out of the data between 500u to 600u. You can make an accompanying time axis for a new plot:
t56 = time[[(500u,600u)]], and then plot vmid vs t56. Of course you can subtract the offset from t56 using the following script:
t56 = t56 - 500u. This gives you the power to rearrange data during post processing to make things like "eye" diagrams.
