MathCAD FFT Amplitude
MathCAD FFT Amplitude
(OP)
I've been working on this FFT transform and I can't seem to get the right amplitude out. The frequency is correct, but the amplitude is about 1/3 of what it should be. The FFT was also done in LabView where it seems to be correct. Does anyone know if the amplitudes for MathCAD are scaled down by some number?

Even if it wasn't, it is always wise to generate and analyse a unit amplitude test signal when using a new fft routine, I think last time I counted I could think of 4 different scaling conventions.
