Configures the resolution bandwidth of a spectrum acquisition. The resolution bandwidth controls the width of the frequency bins in the power spectrum computed by NI-RFSA. A larger value for resolution bandwidth creates wider frequency bins, which results in fewer bins, or spectral lines.

By default, the resolution bandwidth value corresponds to the 3 decibels (dB) bandwidth of the window type NI-RFSA uses to compute the spectrum. To directly specify the frequency bin width, set the Resolution Bandwidth Type property to Bin Width.

Supported Devices: PXIe-5644/5645/5646, PXI-5661, PXIe-5663/5663E/5665/5667/5668, PXIe-5820/5830/5831/5832/5840/5841/5842/5860
