PicoScope

5000D Series oscilloscopes

Spectrum analyzer

The spectrum view plots amplitude against frequency and is ideal for nding noise,

crosstalk or distortion in signals. PicoScope uses a fast Fourier transform (FFT)

spectrum analyzer, which (unlike a traditional swept spectrum analyzer) can display the

spectrum of a single, non-repeating waveform.

With a click of a button, you can display a spectrum plot of the active channels, with a

maximum frequency of up to 200 MHz. A comprehensive range of settings gives you

control over the number of spectrum bins, window functions, scaling (including log/log)

and display mode (instantaneous, average or peak-hold).

Display multiple spectrum views with different channel selections and zoom factors,

and place these alongside time-domain views of the same data. Choose from a number

of automatic frequency-domain measurements to add to the display, including THD,

THD+N, SNR, SINAD and IMD. You can apply mask limit testing to a spectrum and

can even use the AWG and spectrum mode together to perform swept scalar network

analysis.
