Raw Main Time (5G NR/5G-Advanced)

Raw Main Time shows the raw time data read from the input hardware or playback file for the selected channel.

Resampling and time adjustment is performed on Raw Main Time and shown in the Search Time trace. In 5G NR, the Search Time is controlled by several parameters, but there is not a specific Search Time Length parameter. Also, the Meas Offset and Meas Interval settings will restrict which portion of the Result Length is included in the Time trace.

Characteristics of this trace:

The data has not had instrument calibration corrections applied, so the trace shows a "CAL?" trace message.
The data has not gone through the VSA's software resampling filters, so is generally not sampled at the specified sample rate.
The zero time point is where the instrument or the recording actually triggered.
