5 Math Waveforms
 
• 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.
• Bartlett — (triangular, with end points at zero) window is similar to the 
Hanning window in that it is good for making accurate frequency 
measurements, but its higher and wider secondary lobes make it not quite 
as good for resolving frequencies that are close together.
• Vertical Units — For FFT (Magnitude), you can select Logarithmic (decibels) or 
Linear (V RMS). For FFT (Phase), you can select Degrees or Radians.
Use the multiplexed knobs for the [Math] key to adjust the FFT waveform 
vertical scale and offset.
• FFT Gating— When the zoomed time base is displayed, press this softkey to 
select:
• No Gating — the FFT is performed on the source waveform in the upper 
Main time base window.
• Gate By Zoom — the FFT is performed on the source waveform in the lower 
Zoom window.
• Detection Type— When the FFT (Magnitude) operator is selected, this softkey 
lets you set the FFT detector decimation type.
Detectors give you a way of manipulating the acquired data to emphasize 
different features of the data. Detectors reduce (decimate) the number of 
FFT points to at most the number of specified detector points. In this 
reduction, sampled FFT points are bucketized, that is, split into a number of
