• Remote operation: the math operations and registers are controlled
using math operation commands. First, select the math operation you
want to use
CALCulate:FUNCtion AVERage
Then, enable the selected math function by turning the math state on:
CALCulate:STATe ON
When you have finished collecting readings, obtain the desired statistics:
CALCulate:AVERage
:MINimum?
:MAXimum?
:AVERage?
:SDEViation?
:PTPeak?
:COUNt?
After reading the statistics, supply another trigger to continue taking
measurements and collecting statistics. Measurements are not taken
while reading the results.
If you are interested in the statistics on a number of readings, but not
the readings themselves, you can use the following command:
DATA:FEED RDG_STORE, ""
The null value parameter in the command tells the meter not to store
the individual readings. The meter does, however, accumulate
statistics on the readings. This method removes the 1024 reading
limitation and you can calculate statistics on any number of readings.
