    Q. What is the FFT (Fast Fourier Transform) math function of an oscilloscope useful for?
    A. There are a variety of uses that can benefit from viewing the frequency spectrum of a signal. Using the FFT math function on a time domain signal provides the user with frequency domain information and can provide the user a different view of the signal quality, resulting in improved measurement productivity when troubleshooting a device-under-test. Examples include:

    Analyze harmonics in power lines
    Measure harmonic content and distortion in systems
    Characterize noise in DC power supplies
    Test impulse response of filters and systems
    Analyze vibration
