IQ data time Analysis time Detection length Detectionlength Window function length Window function length Figure E-5 IQ data time for the Spectrogram trace The Spectrogram trace uses the FFT method for calculation, so data with window function length is captured as required data length for calculation in addition to the specified analysis time.
Page 466
Appendix E IQ Data Time Actually Required Auto mode and Manual mode for capture time When Capture Time is set to the Auto mode, the data length required for calculation is automatically set to the minimum data length. This makes the IQ data time actually captured the shortest, allowing the user to obtain analysis results in the shortest time.
