Not only do you not have a choice of different modes, the function itself is buggy, keyword windows (flat top, Hanning, etc).
This is a no-go for such a basic function, something that distinguishes a DSO from an analog CRT scope.
The advantages of a functioning FFT equipped with various modes are obvious, see picture.
And you don't even need a scope like mine for this, the SDS1140X-E can already do that.

If you're an ordinary FFT user then there's NO WAY IN HELL that should be taken as buying advice though. The DHO800's FFT works just fine for picking out frequencies/harmonics in a signal, and literally everything else about the DHO800 blows those antique 'scopes into the last century.

The DHO's FFT probably works better than the Siglent for most people because it's so easy to set up and use. Pinch/zoom makes it really easy to set center/span, too. Siglent FFT might have the "missing" parameter but even Dave managed to screw something up when he tried to use it (Siglent apologists swear it was Dave's fault, not the 'scopes fault. Right?)



As noted in this thread: Siglent is promising a response to Rigol and nobody who's thinking about buying a new 'scope should be looking at a SDS1140X-E right now (not unless it['s for a critical job that needs doing this week and they found a very specialized case that only the SDS1140X-E can do and I'm tired of having to spell out the exceptions to all the oscilloscope lawyers in the forum)

If you're a heavy/precise/critical FFT user then a specialized device will blow away these 'scopes anyway, so...   :-//

Martin72:
I find your enthusiasm admirable, but unfortunately that doesn't change the fact that the FFT function doesn't run smoothly with the Rigol (with all models).
There is still hope that rigol will turn around and put more work into the software.
We don't need to say a word about the operation of the rigol, its user interface in general, which I consider to be one of the best on the market.

Correct and proven Dave has no idea by several members posts in other threads.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Who would dare claim Dave is capable of making mistakes?!?!?!?!?! How dare they!

Ask yourself this though: if somebody like Dave, who is not new to oscilloscopes at all, can't get it to work; how about a hobbyist / novice user? There is a lot to say for tools which are intuitive to use and Rigol seems to have hit the nail on the head. -insert Monty Python's ministry of funny walks video here-
