## Time mode

In Time mode, CLIC plots by default the ``Continuum'' subbands C01 to C08 (each ``Continuum'' subband being a frequency-averaged data over part of the spectral band). This can be plotted as a function of time, record by record (`SET AVER NONE`), or with any integration time shorter than the scan duration (`SET AVER Atime`), or by scan average (`SET AVER SCAN`). In the latter case, CLIC does not recompute the time-averaged continuum data, but reads it directly from the ``average record'' in the input file: this mode is thus specially fast.

Time mode is selected whenever the X coordinate is a time-like variable: `SET X TIME, SET X HOUR, SET X DEC, SET X RA, SET X SCAN`, etc... result in time mode display for CLIC.

It is possible to plot spectral data (subbands L01 to L08) as a function of time, but only by scan average of course, since no other information is available. To do so, the `SET SUBBAND` command must be typed after the `SET X` command.
