# swap_dims_channel_frequency

echopype.consolidate. swap_dims_channel_frequency ds]Dataset

Use frequency_nominal in place of channel to be dataset dimension and coorindate.

This is useful because the nominal transducer frequencies are commonly used to refer to data collected from a specific transducer.

Parameters

- ds : xr.Dataset or str or pathlib.Path

  Dataset or path to a file containing the Dataset for which the dimension will be swapped

Returns

- The input dataset with the dimension swapped

Notes

This operation is only possible when there are no duplicated frequencies present in the file.
