Re: DFT, energy arrivals, and when to use SMAART vs. Systune
Nick, I don't know this either, at least off the top of my head, though I feel like I should. If Dave Gunness was around I'm sure he could clear it up succinctly.
My mistake, I totally glossed over the word "magnitude." And you're right about that, barring any trickery that we are both unaware of.
I think this is a common misconception, yes, but I doubt anyone who groks how DFT on an on-going signal is set up would be confused. Certainly that group is only a small subset of measurement system users, though.
