Searching for FFT Peaks
With frequency domain waveforms, you can use the Search analysis feature
(Analyze > Search...) to search for frequency peaks.
In the Search dialog box with the Freq Peaks search selected, there are these
controls:
• Max # Peaks — Specifies the maximum number of FFT peaks to find.
• Threshold — Specifies the threshold level necessary to be considered a peak.
• Excursion — Specifies the amplitude above the FFT waveform's noise floor
necessary to be recognized as a peak.
