Cube Slicer
Cut the data cube to the specified dimensions.
Description
The Cube Slicer block makes a slice of a data cube through a given plane. The input is a data cube with dimensions to to . The first dimension is range or fast time. The second dimension is angle or channels. The third dimension is Doppler shift or slow time.
