How to continue a count from the previous when calling each function? Attached photo explains further.

Refer to photo for further explanation.

All other data are correct expect the first column (Time).

Lines of code where I increment the time.:

From Function 1:

%% Looping the angles for each step
tic;
P2PAng = zeros(6); %preallocating memory

 for j = 1:condiPTP
     steploop = AngleA + j * step;
     P2PAng(j,:) = steploop; 
 end 
 %% Increments of Time 
 
 TimeP2P = zeros(1); %preallocating memory
 for clockPTP = 1:condiPTP
     TickTockPTP = clockPTP * 0.1;
     TimeP2P(clockPTP,:) = TickTockPTP;
 end
 toc
    
%% Concatenating Time & Point to Point Angles. Time will be the first column
ConcPTP = [TimeP2P,P2PAng];

From Function 2:

%% Looping through each point of the line
tic;
AnglesLin = zeros(6); %preallocating memory
for f = 1:ResLin
    %% calculating actual point  
   A(1,1) = A(1,1) + DeltaX ; 
   A(1,2) = A(1,2) + DeltaY ;
   A(1,3) = A(1,3) + DeltaZ ; 
   % Calling Inverse Kinematics
   AnglesLin(f,:) = IKine(A);    
end
%% Increments of Time 
TimeLin = zeros(1); %preallocating memory
for clockLin = 1:ResLin
    TickTockLin = clockLin * 0.1 + 10;
    TimeLin(clockLin,:) = TickTockLin;
end
toc
%% Concatenating Time & Angles. Time will be the first column
ConcLin = [TimeLin,AnglesLin];

You forgot to attach the data. No one is going to type in that huge matrix by hand just to try something for you. Use the paperclip icon after reading this:

@Image Analyst Thanks. See attachment (Program.Zip and Combine_M1.CSV).

The idea is not asking anyone to do it for me. Just seeking advice from people with experience and knowledge with MATLAB.

What am I doing wrong here?

%% Increments of Time 
TimeLin = zeros(1); %preallocating memory
for clockLin = 1:ResLin
    TickTockLin = clockLin * 0.1 + 10;
    TimeLin(clockLin,:) = TickTockLin;
end

It works for the first two calls. Is there a way that when the functions are called, they continue incrementing from the previous rather than starting over.

There are a few ways you could do this. Probably the easiest would be to remove the time calculation from Line.m and Point.m and instead prepend the time column to the results from Line() and Point() in the main function. Updated files are attached (IKine.m remains the same).

This way is probably better than hard-coding a time offset of 10 in Line.m. What would happen if you used a different size data set or a different time-step? What if you called the functions in a different order? Specifying the time column in the main function avoids those considerations entirely because you just make time be what it needs to be in that particular context.

@Benjamin Thank you.
