sliceselect `property` ¶

sliceselect: RfSpectrogramSliceselect

Return the RF:SPECTRogram:SLICESELect command.

Description

This command specifies the spectrogram slice number that is to be displayed. The slice can only be selected or changed when acquisitions have been stopped. As soon as acquisitions start again, the slice number is reset to 0 (the latest slice). Attempts to select a slice number outside of range, or when acquisitions are running, are ignored. The query form returns the currently selected spectrogram slice. To use this command, first turn on the spectrogram (RF:SPECTROGRAM:STATE). Then query the number of slices (RF:SPECTROGRAM:NUMSLICES). Stop the acquisition when you’ve reached the number of desired slices. Then select the slice to display (RF:SPECTROGRAM:SLICESELECT). Each slice of the spectrogram corresponds to a single RF acquisition. The FFT samples the entire spectrum for the incoming signal (at the rate with which new spectrums are acquired). The newest spectrum is on the bottom edge of the spectrogram, and the oldest is on the top edge. When the oscilloscope is stopped, you can scroll ‘back in time’ through the spectrogram using the spectrum slice control. When you select a spectrogram slice, it is displayed in the bottom window as the RF Normal trace.

Cold colors (blue, green) indicate low amplitude, and hot colors (red, yellow) indicate high amplitude.
