Hi Folks,

I am struck with an error message with Matlab for
sometime.

>> whos data_daq2
  Name Size Bytes Class

  data_daq2 500x2 8000 double
array

Grand total is 1000 elements using 8000 bytes

>> data_daq2

data_daq2 =

   -0.3683 -0.3171
   -1.1497 -1.0985
    0.4131 0.4644
   -0.3683 1.2458
   -0.3683 -1.0985
    0.4131 1.2458
    0.4131 0.4644
    1.1946 -0.3171

.... blaq blaq ..... alot more data, I truncated the rest.

The problem is I cannot do a diff (I am trying to do a
numerical approximate differentiation.


>> diff(data_daq2(:,1))
??? Subscript indices must either be real positive integers
or logicals.

The weird thing is I have managed to do the same
diff(data_daq2(:,1)) in a earlier version of code.

I am pretty sure and I know that initial vector position is
1. So this is not the syntax error I am running into.

Please advise.

Thank you.

It maybe that you have a variable named 'diff' or your own
file use the same name as the built-in function diff.m.

For checking, type in the command line
   open diff

or
   whos diff

Is there any way for me to prevent such things from
happening?

As in, I will have a warning message from Matlab if I redo
something silly in the future?

Any command / options?

Thank you.
