Applying a window to the YT waveform changes the waveform so that the start and stop values are close to each
other, which reduces the discontinuities.
The Math FFT function has three FFT Window options. There is a trade-off between frequency resolution and
amplitude accuracy for each type of window. You shall determine which one to choose according to the object you
want to measure and the source signal characteristics.
