CALCulate<Chn>:TRANsform:TIME:DCHebyshev 

<SidebandSupp>

Sets the sideband suppression for the Dolph-Chebyshev window. The command is
only available if a Dolph-Chebyshev window is active (

CALCulate<Chn>:

TRANsform:TIME:WINDow

 

DCHebyshev

).

Suffix: 

<Chn>

.

Channel number used to identify the active trace

Parameters:

<SidebandSupp>

Sideband suppression
Range: 

10 dB to 120 dB

Increment:  10 dB
*RST: 

32 dB

Default unit: dB

Example: 

*RST; :CALC:TRAN:TIME:WIND DCH

Reset the instrument and select a Dolph-Chebyshev window for
filtering the data in the frequency domain.

CALC:TRAN:TIME:DCH 25

Set the sideband suppression to 25 dB.

Manual operation: 

See 

"Side Lobe Level"

 

on page 404

CALCulate<Chn>:TRANsform:TIME:LPASs 

<Algorithm>

Calculates the harmonic grid for low pass time domain transforms according to one of
the three alternative algorithms.

Suffix: 

<Chn>

.

Channel number used to identify the active trace

Parameters:

<Algorithm>

KFSTop | KDFRequency | KSDFrequency
KFSTop - keep stop frequency and number of points
KDFRequency - keep frequency gap and number of points
KSDfrequency - keep stop frequency and approximate fre-
quency gap

Example: 

See 

CALCulate<Chn>:TRANsform:TIME[:TYPE]

Manual operation: 

See 

"Set Harmonic Grid and Keep"

 

on page 406

CALCulate<Chn>:TRANsform:TIME:LPASs:DCSParam 

<DCValue>

Defines the DC value for low pass transforms. The command is enabled only if the
sweep points are on a harmonic grid (to be set explicitly or using 

CALCulate<Chn>:

TRANsform:TIME:LPASs

).

Suffix:
