resolve two closely space frequencies. A good way to test the
ability of the FFT to resolve two closely spaced frequencies is to
examine the sidebands of an amplitude modulated sine wave.
For the best vertical accuracy on peak measurements:
• Make sure the probe attenuation is set correctly. The probe
attenuation is set from the Channel menu if the operand is a
channel.
• Set the source sensitivity so that the input signal is near full
screen, but not clipped.
• Use the Flat Top window.
• Set the FFT sensitivity to a sensitive range, such as
2 dB/division.
For best frequency accuracy on peaks:
• Use the Hanning window.
• Use Cursors to place an X cursor on the frequency of
interest.
• Adjust frequency span for better cursor placement.
• Return to the Cursors menu to fine tune the X cursor.
