Table 6-1 Window Function 
Waveforms Applicable to the 
Window Function 
Best frequency 
resolution 
Poorest 
amplitude 
resolution 
Similar to the 
situation when 
no window is 
applied. 
Transient or short pulse, the signal 
levels before and after the 
multiplication are basically the same. 
Sine waveforms with the same 
amplitudes and rather similar 
frequencies. 
Wide band random noise with 
relatively slow change of waveform 
spectrum. 
Best amplitude 
resolution 
Poorest 
frequency 
resolution 
Single frequency signal, searching for 
higher order harmonics. 
Better frequency 
resolution and 
poorer amplitude 
resolution 
compared with 
Rectangular 
Sine, periodic, and narrow band 
random noise. 
A little bit better 
frequency 
resolution than 
Hanning 
Transient or short pulse, the signal 
levels before and after the 
multiplication are rather different. 
Measure the 
signals 
accurately 
Measure the signal that has no 
accurate reference and requires an 
accurate measurement 
Better frequency 
resolution 
Measure the narrow band signal and 
that has strong noise interference 
 
⚫  For FFT math operation setting label, refer to descriptions in "Math Operation 
Label". 
⚫  Press More → More, and press Color Grade continuously to enable or disable 
the color grade display of the FFT operation results. When enabled, different 
colors are displayed on the screen to indicate the times of data acquisition or 
acquisition probability. 
⚫  Press More → More → Reset ColorGrade to clear the color grade display and 
display the color grade again.
