Figure 5-17: Stimulus > Time Domain X-Axis softtool tab

left = Time representation
right = Distance representation

Time Start / Time Stop / Time Center / Time Span

Defines the display range for the time domain trace in time representation (see

" Time /

Distance"

on page 484).

●

"Time Start" is the lowest displayed time and corresponds to the left edge of the
Cartesian diagram.

●

"Time Stop" is the highest displayed time and corresponds to the right edge of the
Cartesian diagram.

●

"Time Center" corresponds to the center of the Cartesian diagram, i.e. ("Time Start"
+ "Time Stop")/2.

●

"Time Span" corresponds to the diagram width, i.e. ("Time Stop" – "Time Start").

"Time Start" and "Time Stop" or "Time Center" and "Time Span" are alternative set-
tings.

Remote command:

CALCulate<Chn>:TRANsform:TIME:STARt
CALCulate<Chn>:TRANsform:TIME:STOP
CALCulate<Chn>:TRANsform:TIME:CENTer
CALCulate<Chn>:TRANsform:TIME:SPAN

Distance Start / Distance Stop / Distance Center / Distance Span

Defines the display range for the time domain trace in distance representation (see

Time / Distance"

on page 484).

"Distance Start" and "Distance Stop" or "Distance Center" and "Distance Span" are
alternative settings.
