#202: Basics of using FFT on a Tektronix TDS2000 oscilloscope

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. More detail regarding the basics of an FFT on a scope can be found in this video: A copy of the note pages from this video can be found here:
