1.  Frequency at the center graticule line 
2.  Vertical scale in dB per division (0dB=1V
RMS
) 
3.  Horizontal scale in frequency per division 
4.  Sample rate in number of samples per second 
5.  FFT window type 
5.3.1.3  Selecting FFT Window 
Using  windows  can  eliminate  the  spectral  leakage  in  the  FFT  spectrum.  The  FFT  algorithm 
assumes that the YT waveform repeats all the time. When the number of cycles is integral (1, 2, 
3 ...), the YT waveform starts and ends at the same amplitude and there are no discontinuities in 
the signal shape. 
If the number of cycles is nonintegral, the YT waveform starts and ends at different amplitudes and 
transitions between the start and end points will cause discontinuities in the signal that introduces 
high-frequency transients.
