Frequency Response Analysis
On G-suffix oscilloscope models (that have a a built-in waveform generator), the
Frequency Response Analysis (FRA) feature controls the built-in waveform
generator to sweep a sine wave across a range of frequencies while measuring the
input to and output from a device under test (DUT). At each frequency, gain (A)
and phase are measured and plotted on a frequency response Bode chart.
When the frequency response analysis completes, you can move a marker across
the chart to see the measured gain and phase values at each frequency point. You
can also adjust the chart's scale and offset settings for the gain and phase plots.

Frequency Response Analysis automatically changes the acquisition mode during the sweep to
provide a good balance between a clean signal and high throughput at each frequency. For most
frequencies, averaging is enabled with a varying number of averages.
