Specifying FFT Frequency Range

Hello,

I am looking for a method to perform an FFT calculation over a specified frequency range, say 0-4kHz. However, my data sampling rate was set to 20kHz, thus the FFT is calculated for 0-10kHz by default.

From reading the Dewesoft manual, I do not see any obvious way to get around this :

"The maximum frequency of the FFT is half of the signal sampling frequency"

Please advise if there is a solution to this problem.

My understanding of FFT is, that the vibration amplitudes calculated are dependent on the total frequency range of the FFT. Is this correct? Alternatively, if FFT amplitude is dependent only on the number of analysis lines used, could I alter this to match the required frequency resolution in the desired range (0-4kHz).

Many thanks in advance.

Dear Mr. Young,

the easiest way to define the FFT in a range from 0 to 4kHz is to define bandwidth insted of sample rate in Analog in.

When defining the bandwidth, sample rate will be calculated accordingly.

If you are using bandwidth up to 10kHz and want to Calculate FFT only up to 4kHz, the FFT boundaries can be defined in a Formula.

The input is the output channel from FFT math and with {} you define the wanted range.
