4.7.6. FFT

You can transform data in the time domain to the frequency domain by using the Fast Fourier Transformation method (FFT) in the chart view. At least one graph must be selected for the operations as in the following steps.

Step Description
1Select the chart view.
2Select the target graphs for the FFT operation.
3Select FFT from the menu bar.
4Select either Magnitude or Phase.
5

Select the Scale method. The resultant magnitude or phase will be scaled in the frequency domain.

  • Original does not use the scale in the transformation.

  • Logarithm uses the log scale with the base of 10.

    Steps for the FFT operation
  • Decibel uses the log scale with the base of 10 and coefficient of 20.

Select the Window method.

  • None does not use the window for FFT.

  • Rectangular uses the window of
