NAME

RF::Component::Multi - Multi-element vectorized handling of RF::Component objects.

DESCRIPTION

This module enables loading Measurement Data Interchange Format (MDIF) files and operating on each component them as a vector. Each RF::Component::Multi object is a blessed arrayref containing a list of RF::Component objects, so you can use it as a normal array to get a particular component. You can also run RF::Component methods on an RF::Component::Multi object to return a vector of results, one result for each RF::Component object in the arrayref.

SYNOPSIS

use RF::Component::Multi;

# Load an MDIF file:
my $mdf = RF::Component::Multi->load('t/test-data/muRata/muRata-GQM-0402.mdf',
		load_options => { freq_min_hz => 100e6, freq_count => 1 }
	);

# Query a single component in the MDIF:
my $component1 = $mdf->[1];
print $component1->cap_pF;

# Query all components in the MDF with a vectorized result:
my $cap_pF = $mdf->cap_pF;

# Print the result value (same as $component1->cap_pF, above):
print $cap_pF->[1];

IO Functions

RF::Component::Multi->load - Load a multiple-data file

Currently only MDIF files are supported, other formats are possible. Usage:

my $mdf = RF::Component::Multi->load($filename, %options);

• The %options hash is passed to RF::Component's load function.

• If load_options is provided in %options then load_options is passed to PDL::IO::MDIF's rmdif function.
