 Press Export, and the save setting menu is displayed. You can export the
peak search results to the internal memory or the external USB storage
device in CSV format. For detailed saving operation, refer to descriptions in
"Store and Load".
 Press More  Window to select the desired window function.
Spectral leakage can be considerably decreased when a window function is used.
MSO7000/DS7000 provides 6 FFT window functions (as shown in Table 6-1)
which have different characteristics and are applicable to measuring different
waveforms. You need to select the window function according to the
characteristics of the waveform to be measured.
Table 6-1 Window Function
Window
Function
Characteristics
Waveforms Applicable to the
Window Function
Rectangular
Best frequency
resolution
Poorest
amplitude
resolution
Similar to the
situation when
no window is
applied.
Transient or short pulse, the signal
levels before and after the
multiplication are basically the same.
Sine waveforms with the same
amplitudes and rather similar
frequencies.
Wide band random noise with
relatively slow change of waveform
spectrum.
Blackman-Harris
Best amplitude
resolution
Poorest
frequency
resolution
Single frequency signal, searching for
higher order harmonics.
Hanning
Better frequency
resolution and
poorer amplitude
resolution
compared with
Rectangular
Sine, periodic, and narrow band
random noise.
Hamming
A little bit better
frequency
resolution than
Hanning
Transient or short pulse, the signal
levels before and after the
multiplication are rather different.
Flattop
Measure the
signals
accurately
Measure the signal that has no
accurate reference and requires an
accurate measurement
Triangle
Better frequency
resolution
Measure the narrow band signal and
that has strong noise interference
