w2aew | #202: Basics of using FFT on a Tektronix TDS2000 oscilloscope @w2aew | Uploaded May 2015 | Updated October 2024, 3 hours ago.
This video (by request) gives an overview of how to the FFT Math function on the Tektronix TDS2000 series oscilloscope. (same applies to the TDS1000). A brief review of FFT fundamentals is given, followed by a demonstration of using the FFT function and controls, ending with a description of the mathematical relationships between the scope settings and the FFT results. More modern scopes will have different (easier to use) controls for the FFT than this 12+ yr old scope, but it is instructive to understand the operation of this feature.
