The results of the THD calculation appear at the bottom left of the analyzer’sdisplay.
The number of harmonics used to calculate THD appears at the top of the screen. The
default is 20 harmonics. (If there are fewer than 20 harmonics, the available number
of harmonics are used.) To change the number of harmonics, use the
[
NUMBER OF HARMONICS
] softkey in the [
HARMONIC MARKER
] menu.
The absolute marker, [
MARKER TO PEAK
], measures the amplitude of the fundamental
frequency. If the harmonic markers do not line up with the harmonics, you will need
to adjust the value of the fundamental frequency (The marker falls in the middle of the
frequency bin.) Use the arrow keys or the knob to adjust the value of the fundamental
frequency until the harmonic markers line up with the harmonics.
