Thanks for your help
I am trying to apply this idea to "degrade" the output of a model resolution.

For the sample:

$ vi model.dat

Code:

3002.000 1.2874e+32
3002.300 1.2898e+32
3002.600 1.2966e+32
3002.900 1.3000e+32
3003.200 1.2997e+32
3003.500 1.2961e+32
3003.800 1.2926e+32
3004.100 1.2909e+32
3004.400 1.2904e+32
3004.700 1.2923e+32
3005.000 1.2970e+32
3005.300 1.3027e+32
3005.600 1.3043e+32
3005.900 1.3028e+32
3006.200 1.2977e+32
3006.500 1.2894e+32
3006.800 1.2802e+32
3007.100 1.2738e+32
3007.400 1.2717e+32
3007.700 1.2728e+32
3008.000 1.2778e+32

3002.000 ???
3005.000 ???
3008.000 ???
