FFT Analysis Modes and Averaging
When averaging time-domain waveform values:
Waveforms are acquired and averaged within the time domain. After averaging, FFT
calculation is performed.
When the trigger mode is [Auto]: Data is acquired when measurement is started, even
if trigger criteria are not met after a certain interval. So if averaging is applied to an asyn-
chronous signal, the resulting data is meaningless.
Synchronous signals have better SNR (signal-to-noise ratio) and are more suitable for
analysis.
When averaging spectrum values:
Acquired data is first subject to FFT analysis. After analysis, averaging is performed
within the frequency range, and the result is displayed. This differs from time-domain av-
eraging in that averaging can be performed without trigger synchronization. However, if
the characteristics of the input waveform allow triggering, using the trigger for synchro-
nization is recommended.
Spectrum peak hold:
After performing FFT calculations on the acquired waveform, peak values are retained
(held) and displayed within the frequency range.

Trigger Modes and Averaging
If the trigger mode is [Single] or the calculation setting is [Once]
Measurements continue until the specified number of averaging points is acquired.
If the trigger mode is [Continue] or the calculation setting is [Repeat]
Measurement continues after the specified averaging count has been acquired.
When the specified averaging count is exceeded, averaging is repeated and measurement continues until
[STOP] is
clicked.
When the trigger mode is [Auto]
•For time-domain waveforms:
Data is acquired when [START] is clicked, even if trigger criteria are not met after a certain interval. So
if averaging is applied to an asynchronous signal, the resulting data is meaningless.
•For spectrum values:
When [START] is clicked, measurement starts. Even if the trigger criteria are not met, the specified
amount of data is acquired, and after FFT analysis, the results are averaged.
When the specified averaging count is exceeded, averaging is repeated and measurement continues
until [STOP] is clicked.

By specifying a setting factor (rate) to be applied to the input signal, the display of data exceeding the result-
ing 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 fre-
quency result from calculation errors. By treating the maximum value of the power (or cross-power) spectrum
of the input signal,
P
max
, as a reference value, data that exceeds that value multiplied by rate R can be dis-
played with emphasis.
