Selects the number of samples to include in the selected test analysis. Collect more data
to improve frequency resolution of FFT analysis.
Data windowing function
Select the desired windowing function applied to the data for FFT analysis. Select
‘Blackman’ when sampling a non-coherent input signal or ‘Rectangle’ when sampling a
coherent input signal.
Test options
→
notch frequency bins
Select bins to be removed from the spectrum and back-filled with the average noise
level. May also customize which Harmonics/Spurs are considered in SNR and THD
calculations and select the method for calculating spur power.
Test options
→
analysis window
markers
Enable markers to narrow the Single-Tone FFT test analysis to a specific bandwidth.
