monitor data

Defines whether or not to save monitor data to memory or to disk.

save to disk

sample mode frequency band

The sample mode frequency band estimation. If 'automatic', the center frequency and the number of bands will be adjusted automatically. If 'single', a single band (total field) with user defined center frequency will be used.
