Power Spectrum Density
Indicates the power spectrum density of the input signal with only the amplitude component
included. This is the power spectrum divided by the frequency resolution.
Main uses:
To acquire a power spectrum with 1-Hz resolution for highly irregular waveforms such as white noise

Axis Display Type Description
X axis
Linear Frequency is displayed with equal spacing
Log Frequency display of logarithm interval
Y axis
Lin-Mag
Analysis values are displayed linearly.
Log-Mag(logarithm)
Analysis values are displayed as dB values. (0 dB reference value: 1eu
2
/Hz)*
* eu: engineering units that are currently set are the standard (e.g., when the unit settings is volts, 0 dB = 1 V
