Select Operation as FFT in the math dialog box and touch Config
to recall the configuration dialog box:

A. Set the maximum points (2

n

, n = 11 - 21)

B. Set the window type (Rectangle, Blackman, Hanning,

Hamming, and Flattop)

C. Automatically set vertical scale, reference level, center

frequency, and horizontal scale according to the maximum
frequency component in the previous frame

D. Select the display mode (Split, Full Screen and Exclusive)

E. Select the FFT mode (Normal, Average and Max-Hold)

F. Set the average count in average mode

G. Reset average

H. Return to previous menu

Windows

Spectral leakage in FFTs can be considerably decreased when a
window is used. The T3DSO2000A provides five windows that
have different characteristics and are applicable to different scenarios.

For example, for a two-tone signal with a very close frequency interval, it is suitable to
use a Rectangle window with the best frequency resolution. For the case where the
accuracy of amplitude measurement is critical, it is recommended to select the Flattop
window with the best amplitude resolution.
