Second Example PlugIn – Log-Log FFT Plot

tical scale, so CustomDSO has only to change the horizontal one. Here is an example. The first figure has

A frequent requirement is to plot a frequency spe

The graph has a red line to represent the theoretical envelope for the peaks. This has great potential for testing

mplifiers and filters, since the output can be compared with a theoretical
