THD (Total Harmonic Distortion) measurment
Hi,
A very appreciated feature would be if we could have a THD mesaurment.
From my technical understanding it would only have to be a SW update since you already have FFT capability and you should be able to use that data to get a THD reading.
This THD reading would be very useful for us who troubleshoot power electronics, i.e, alternators etc and see if the power being produced is a clean sine wave or not.

Hi Kristian Sievers,
Thank you for the suggestion! I've sent this suggestion off to our engineers to see whether this could be a potential feature in the future. We're always looking for ways to improve and expand our products' functionality, so we appreciate your input!

I second this^
though I could see it being a bit difficult without the pokit knowing exactly what the source is supposed to be, so likely would require some sort of defining of what the target is
potentially it would have to be a 2x pokit-pro feature where one scope measures source while the other measures the interfering circuit, or a before & after to measure difference between 2 captures. again the second would be kinda tempermental unless your measurement trigger is very well defined.

If you do incorporate this function, it would be especially useful to be able to see True Power.

Very supportive of this proposal - the calculation is simple enough and the data is evident in the DFT view.

UPDATE: We are in the pre-development stage of developing a Power module. This will include Total Harmonic Distortion measurement. We will release more details later in the year!

Great to hear! Look forward to seeing the details. :-}
