3.10 FFT Analysis Modes
87
Waveform Example
RMS Spectrum RMS
Amplitudes (RMS values) are calculated along the frequency axis from the input signal waveform.
RMS and power spectra displays use the same analysis results displayed logarithmically (amplitude
in dB).
Main uses:
• To inspect the peak frequency contents of a waveform
• To inspect the RMS value at each frequency

Axis Display Type Description
X axis
Linear
Frequency is displayed with equal spacing
Display Range: DC to the top of the frequency range
Log
Frequency is displayed logarithmically
Display Range: 1/400

(depending on the number of analysis
points) to the top of the frequency range
Y axis
Lin-Mag
Analysis values are displayed linearly.
Log-Mag
Analysis values are displayed as dB values. (0 dB reference value: 1eu)*
Lin-Real
The real-number component of analysis values are displayed.
Lin-Imag
The imaginary component of analysis values are displayed.
* eu: engineering units that are currently set are the standard (e.g., when the unit settings is volts, 0 dB = 1 V)
