* ``<diag_name>.num_snapshots_lab`` (`integer`)
Only used when ``<diag_name>.diag_type`` is ``BackTransformed``.
The number of lab-frame snapshots that will be written.
+ Only this option or ``intervals`` should be specified;
+ a run-time error occurs if the user attempts to set both ``num_snapshots_lab`` and ``intervals``.
+
+* ``<diag_name>.intervals`` (`string`)
+ Only used when ``<diag_name>.diag_type`` is ``BackTransformed``.
+ Using the `Intervals parser`_ syntax, this string defines the lab frame times at which data is dumped,
+ given as multiples of the step size ``dt_snapshots_lab`` or ``dz_snapshots_lab`` described below.
+ Example: ``btdiag1.intervals = 10:11,20:24:2`` and ``btdiag1.dt_snapshots_lab = 1.e-12``
+ indicate to dump at lab times ``1e-11``, ``1.1e-11``, ``2e-11``, ``2.2e-11``, and ``2.4e-11`` seconds.
+ Note that the stop interval, the second number in the slice, must always be specified.
+ Only this option or ``num_snapshots_lab`` should be specified;
+ a run-time error occurs if the user attempts to set both ``num_snapshots_lab`` and ``intervals``.
* ``<diag_name>.dt_snapshots_lab`` (`float`, in seconds)
