-Make selections for block size / spectral lines to determine ∆f and dynamic range. Overlap ratio, recommended at least 50% for Hanning window. Average mode and average number should be adjusted based on testing requirements, if no direct requirements to change these settings leave as default. Window selection can be left as Hanning for most testing applications; Uniform may be desired for shock or transient impulse testing.

Average mode and average number should be adjusted based on testing requirements, if no direct requirements to change these settings leave as default. Applying a window to the data has a smearing effect which allows for the signal to be treated as periodic within time blocks.  Each window type has slightly different properties, Hanning is good for precisely distinguishing between different sine waves.  Flattop windows are good for identifying peaks.  The data Window selection can be left as Hanning for most testing applications; Uniform may be desired for shock or transient impulse testing.
