I tried your instructions, as shown.

Error in approx(along[!na], y[!na], along[na], ...) :
invalid interpolation method
In addition: Warning message:

It looks that the data of z3 shows only values corresponding to times
in z1. In the previous merge, z3 consisted of values for times in both
z1 and z2, e.g.:
z1[, 2] z2[, 2]
01:01:01 0.54186455 0.17558467
01:01:30 0.34860813 0.20682491

With respect to advice about seeking help, I think it would be very
good if your comments about using the command 'textConnection()' were
added to the FAQ section or the posting guide, to help novices improve
the quality of asking for help.
