Example The following specifies that we want to simulate minimum a time span of 100 periods of a frequency of 1 GHz. We are absolutely shure that after a timespan of 1000 periods the fields have decayed sufficiently, and we want to store the fields between 10 periods and 20 periods, in a distance of 1/2 period.
  define(FREQ, 1e9)
  tmin=  100/FREQ, tmax= 1000/FREQ
  firstsaved= 10/FREQ, lastsaved=  20/FREQ
  distance=   1/2/FREQ
