Spectrum using FFT

Hi,

 

I am trying to convert a time-domain signal to frequency domain using FFT Spectrum (Mag-Phase).vi. As the time-domain signal is a laser pulse which is in the range of femtoseconds (10e-15s), i get frequencies in the THz range. My problem is now that the scale using FFT Spectrum starts at 0 Hz, I can't find a method to tune up the resolution of my spectrum...I only need a small range of frequencies in the THz range and not the whole range from zero on...

Somebody can help me how to convert my laserpulse to a spectrum? Using another vi?

 

Thanks in advance,

 

Christian

It is not a problem to pick out parts of a FFT and discard non interesting parts. Then performing a FFT analysis the result is placed in "bins" The width of bins and how many will depend on sample rate and how many samples. I do not know what you know about FFT. But I give you some links. They are good reading. You can post again after reading them.

Besides which, my opinion is that Express VIs Carthage must be destroyed deleted
(Sorry no Labview "brag list" so far)
