Dwell Time (FFT Max Data Sampling Duration)
This feature can effectively reduce noise in order to produce a better distinguishable FFT
pattern. For example, adjusting the bar to 50% will reduce sampling by half, thereby
smoothing out spikes in the FFT graph that may be caused by interference noise. Top adjust
the FFT Max Data Sampling Duration: :
1) From the toolbar, click Configure> General Tab.
2) Press and drag the bar between Min and Max.
3) Observe how it affects the Max (red) data line on the FFT Graph.
For more information about the FFT Graph, see Chapter 6: Analyzing Spectrum Data.
