Math Operations
The Math operations can add, subtract, or perform FFT on the input
waveforms. The resulted waveform can be measured using the
cursors, and saved or recalled just like normal input signals.
Overview
Addition (+)
Adds amplitude of CH1 & CH2 signals.
Subtraction (–)
Extracts the amplitude difference between CH1 &
CH2.
FFT
Runs FFT calculation on a signal. Four types of
FFT windows are available: Hanning, Flattop,
Rectangular, and Blackman.
