1. Using FFT function
The FFT (Fast Fourier Transform) process converts a time-domain signal into its
frequency components mathematically. FFT waveforms are useful in the
following applications:
 Measuring harmonic content and distortion in systems
 Characterizing noise in DC power supplies
 Analyzing vibration
