Can I assign some minor/shorter ticks when using "User Tick Waves"?
Yes. The manual explains it better than I can.

It says "This extra column must have the column label 'Tick Type'." My label wave now looks like:

How do I rename the column label? I tried
SetDimLabel 1,1,'Tick Type',IDlabel1
but it did not work.

It works for me:
Function test()
    Make/O/N=(10,2) IDlabel1
    SetDimLabel 1,1, 'Tick Type', IDlabel1
    Edit IDlabel1.ld
End

Did you use .ld when generating the table?

Hope this helps,
Kurt

Thank you! Edit IDlabel1.ld works.

No. How do I add ".ld" when creating the label wave? Can I add ".ld" *after* I create the wave? Thank you.


The ".ld" part is from making the table - see the Edit command in my example.
The image you posted shows a table, but you have not shown the command you used to generate that table, so I can only guess at what you have done.
If you made the table using the menus then use the 'Edit dimension label and data columns' option when selecting the data.
