XLIM

SUMMARY

Determines the plot limits for the x axis.

SYNTAX

XLIM {ON|OFF|pdw|SIGNAL}

INPUT

{ON}:Turn x limits on but don't change limits.
OFF:Turn x limits off.
pdw:Turn x limits on and set limits to a new "partial data window." A pdw consists of a starting and a stopping value of the independent variable, usually time, which defines the desired window of data that you wish to plot. See the CUT command for a complete explanation of how to define and use a pdw. Some examples are given below.
SIGNAL:Equivalent to typing: A -1 F +1.

DEFAULT VALUES

XLIM OFF

DESCRIPTION

When this option is on, fixed plot limits are used for the x axis. When this option is off, the limits are scaled to the data. Fixed x limits can be used to "blowup" part of the data currently in memory.

EXAMPLES

In these examples we assume time is the independent variable and seconds are the units.:

B 0 30:    First 30 secs of the file.
A -10 30:  From 10 secs before to 30 secs after first arrival.
T3 -1 T7:  From 1 sec before T3 time pick to T7 time pick.
B N 2048:  First 2048 points of file.
30.2 48:   30.2 to 48 secs relative to file zero.
