resolution = 1/CBW)
4. Press OK to complete entry.
10.3.2 Setting the channel bandwidth (CBW)
You must choose a channel bandwidth that allows the entire signal to be
captured. The maximum possible time resolution (1/CBW) results from the
bandwidth setting.
See Setting the bandwidth (RBW / CBW) on page 94.
