4 FFT Spectral Analysis
 
• Max Hold — records the maximum vertical values found at each horizontal 
bucket across multiple analysis cycles and uses those values to build a 
waveform. This display mode is often referred to as Max Envelope.
• Min Hold — records the minimum vertical values found at each horizontal 
bucket across multiple analysis cycles and uses those values to build a 
waveform. This display mode is often referred to as Min Envelope.
• Span/Center or Start Freq/Stop Freq — this pair of softkeys let you define the 
displayed frequency range. Press the softkeys to toggle between:
• Span/Center — Span specifies the frequency range represented by the 
width of the display. Divide span by 10 to calculate the frequency scale 
per division. Center specifies the frequency at the center vertical grid line 
of the display.
• Start Freq/Stop Freq — Start Freq specifies the frequency at the left side of 
the display. Stop Freq specifies the frequency at the right side of the 
display.
To set desired values, tap the softkey label on screen for a keypad entry 
dialog or turn the Entry knob.
• More FFT — displays the More FFT Settings Menu.
2 Press the More FFT softkey to display additional FFT settings.
• 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.
