theWINDOWsetting.How ever,youliketoviewittakenoticeofthe
separateVERT/divandHORIZ/divsettingsshowninpurple.Youcanadjust
thesebypushingtheMATHbuttonandthenusingthehorizontaland
verticalscaleknobs.IftheFFTisn’tshownonthescreen,movetheVERTICAL
positionknobuntilyouseethezeropointandthenthesignal.

 TherearetwooptionsforverticalunitsontheFFT:mVrmsand
dBVrms.Whenlookingtoviewsmallsignalsalongwithmuchlargersignals

dBVrmsisbeneficialbecauseitprovidesalogscale.Forthosenotusedto
logarithmicscalinglookatthescreenshotabove.Inthesplitscreenmode
shownthereare8verticaldivisions dedicatedtotheFFT.Herearethevalues
