5 FFT Spectral Analysis
 
2 Press the Settings softkey to display additional FFT settings.
• Source 1 — selects the source for the FFT.
• Window— selects a window to apply to your FFT input 
signal:
• Hanning — window for making accurate frequency 
measurements or for resolving two frequencies that are 
close together.
• Flat Top — window for making accurate amplitude 
measurements of frequency peaks.
• Rectangular — good frequency resolution and amplitude 
accuracy, but use only where there will be no leakage 
effects. Use on self-windowing waveforms such as 
pseudo-random noise, impulses, sine bursts, and 
decaying sinusoids.
• Blackman Harris — window reduces time resolution 
compared to a rectangular window, but improves the 
capacity to detect smaller impulses due to lower 
secondary lobes.
• Vertical Units — lets you select Decibels or VRMS as the units for the FFT 
vertical scale.
• Auto Setup — sets the frequency Span and Center to values that will cause 
the entire available spectrum to be displayed. The maximum available 
frequency is half the FFT sample rate, which is a function of the time per 
division setting. The FFT resolution is the quotient of the sampling rate and 
the number of FFT points (f
S
/N). The current FFT Resolution is displayed.
Scale and offset considerations
If you do not manually change the FFT scale or offset settings, when you turn the horizontal 
scale knob, the span and center frequency settings will automatically change to allow 
optimum viewing of the full spectrum.
If you do manually set scale or offset, turning the horizontal scale knob will not change the 
span or center frequency settings, allowing you see better detail around a specific frequency.
Pressing the FFT Auto Setup softkey will automatically rescale the waveform and span and 
center will again automatically track the horizontal scale setting.
