Math FFT
The Math FFT function includes three FFT Window options. There is a trade-off
between
frequency resolution and amplitude accuracy with each type of window.
What you want to measure a nd your source signal characteristics will help you to
determine which window to use.

FFT Aliasing
Problems occur when the oscilloscope acquires a time-domain waveform
containing frequency components that are greater than the Nyquist frequency.
(See page 56, Nyquist Frequency.) The frequency components that are above the
Nyquist frequency are undersampled, appearing as lower frequency components
t
hat "fold back" around the Nyquist frequency. These incorrect components are
called aliases.
