CONCATENATE-SPECTRA

Use this function to form spectra in X and Y stack positions into separate quadrants/sectors of the final X spectrum. If X and/or Y individually have more than one sector, this structure will be preserved in the output. Thus if X has 4 sectors, and Y has 2 sectors, the output in X will have 6 sectors. Spectra may not be concatenated if the final spectrum would have either more sectors or more data points than the limits (currently 8 sectors and 2048 data points total). Logically, the inverse operation of EXTRACT-QUADRANT , in that the spectra so formed can be put back together into the original spectrum with this operation.
