I have an amplitude data of time series(2000 samples) in a file now I need to convert that into a frequency domain so that to configure at which frequencies peak amplitudes occur. here I am attaching my data file(.txt) please help me to write a code for this

Experiment with this:
s = readmatrix('dec.txt');
L = numel(s); % Signal Length
Fs = 1E+9; % Make Up Sampling Frequency & Units (Hz)
Fn = Fs/2; % Nyquist Frequency
t = linspace(0, 1, L)/Fs; % Make Up Time Vector
figure
plot(t, s)
grid
xlabel('Time (s)') % Make Up Frequency Units
ylabel('Amplitude (parsecs)') % Make Up Amplitude Units
FTs = fft(s - mean(s))/L; % Subtract Mean To See Other Peaks
Fv = linspace(0, 1, fix(L/2)+1)*Fn; % Frequency Vector
Iv = 1:numel(Fv); % Index Vector
figure
plot(Fv, abs(FTs(Iv))*2)
grid
xlabel('Frequency (Hz)')
ylabel('Amplitude (parsecs)')
.

hi
my little code :
