.ibw file, multidimensional wave, auxiliary x and y points
When I make a table of data from .ibw file (AFM image file by Asylum research software), I get the following table. I'd like to access to topmost row, which indicates the x point. However, I am not sure what indexing I should use. Can anyone please help me how I can get an access to this topmost row? Thanks in advance!

What you see in the topmost 'row' (actually not a real row but a 'label' of each column) is most probably the y-scaling of your data. You can change the wave's scaling either directly via the data browser or from the menu by going to 'Data => Change Wave Scaling ...'. To read more about scaling execute the following in the command line:

Yes, that row shows the Y scaling of your wave. To learn more, execute DisplayHelpTopic "The Waveform Model of Data" and DisplayHelpTopic "Multidimensional Waves".
To get a Y value (yes, we call it Y even though it is the horizontal dimension in a table) you can do this:
Replace "colnum" with the actual column number of your wave.

To be precise, it is a "Y index value", analogous to the "X index values" displayed vertically.
