Math FFT
This chapter elaborates how to use the Math FFT (Fast Fourier Transform). You can use the Math FFT mode to
convert a time-domain (YT) signal into its frequency components (spectrum), and to observe the following types of
signals:
Analyze harmonics in power cords;
Measure harmonic content and distortion in systems;
Characterize noise in DC power supplies;
Test impulse response of filters and systems;
Analyze vibration.
To use the Math FFT mode, perform the following tasks:
Set the source (time-domain) waveform;
Display the FFT spectrum;
Choose a type of FFT window;
Adjust the sample rate to display the fundamental frequency and harmonics without aliasing;
Use zoom controls to magnify the spectrum;
Use cursors to measure the spectrum.

Setting Time-domain Waveform
It is necessary to set the time-domain (YT) waveform before using the FFT mode. Follow the steps below.
1.
Push the AUTOSET button to display a YT waveform.
