Complex time waveform contains frequencies of 21, 42, 55, & 78 or Hz100 0 Hz 1 The FFT always has a defined number of lines or Bins. 100, 200, 400, 800, 1600, and 3200 lines are common spectrum has 800 lines, or the X scale is broken down into 800 Lowest Resolvable Frequency is determined by:Frequency Span / Number of Analyzer LinesThe frequency span is calculated as the ending frequency minus the starting number of analyzer lines depends on the analyzer and how the operator has set it , this is the value that can be measured by the cursorExample: 0 to 400 Hz using 800 linesAnswer = 400 / 800 = Hz / LineBandwidth201529 The Bandwidth can be defined by.

It is dependent on the frequency span and the number of analyzer lines being Nlines/ FspanUsing 400 lines with a 800 Hz frequency span will require:400 / 800 = secondsAverage & Overlap201534 Average On Overlap Percent 50% Overlap is the amount of old data that is usedTR#1TR#2TR#3TR#1TR#2TR#30% Overlap50% OverlapHow long will it take for 10 averages at 75% overlap using a 800 line analyzer and a 200 Hz frequency span?
