3.4 Setting FFT Analysis Conditions
61
By specifying a setting factor (rate) to be applied to the input signal, the display
of data exceeding the resulting threshold can be emphasized. This feature is
useful for viewing waveforms that may otherwise be obscured by noise.
The reliability of phase spectrum values is poor when discrete Fourier transform
values are extremely small. For example, in the case of a pure sine wave, almost
all phase values at frequencies other than the input frequency result from calcu-
lation errors. By treating the maximum value of the power (or cross-power) spec-
trum of the input signal, P
max
, as a reference value, data that exceeds that value
multiplied by rate R can be displayed with emphasis.
