5.

The oscilloscope calculates the FFT spectrum using the

center 1024 points of the time-domain waveform.

6.

Turn the “Volts/div” knob to ensure that the entire

waveform remains on the screen.

7.

Turn the “Time/div” knob to provide the resolution you

want in the FFT spectrum.

8.

If possible, set the oscilloscope to display many signal

cycles.

To display FFT correctly, follow these steps:

1. Push the “MATH” button.

2. Set the “Operation” option to FFT.

3. Press the “Source” button to select “CH1”, “CH2”, “CH3”, or

“CH4” according to input signal channel. (CH3 and CH4

available for 4CH models only)

4. According to Nyquist law, turn the “Time/div” knob to adjust

the sampling rate (this parameter is displayed behind the time

base parameter), making sure it is at least double the input

signal frequency.

Displaying the FFT Spectrum

Press the MATH button to display the Math Menu. Use the options to

select the Source channel, Window algorithm, and FFT Zoom factor. You

can display only one FFT spectrum at a time. You can select “Full screen”

or “Split” in “Display” option to display FFT waveform on full screen or

display channel waveform and its FFT waveform on half screen at a time.
