BANDWIDTH [ ] ä Displays Table B-33, “Measurement bandwidth (Bandwidth) configuration 
menu,” on page  376. In [ ], the currently selected measurement bandwidth is 
displayed.
(N/A)
AVERAGING RESTART Resets the sweep-to-sweep averaging function so that the sweep count starts 
from ÇP at the next sweep. The sweep count of the sweep-to-sweep averaging is 
displayed in the upper left area of the screen.
AV E R R E S T
AVERAGING on OFF For both A and B traces, toggles on and off the averaging (sweep-to-sweep 
averaging) function that, based on the sweep data obtained as many times as the 
specified count, executes averaging and displays the result. When the averaging 
function is on, based on an exponential average of consecutive sweeps weighted 
by an averaging factor specified by the user with the AVERAGING FACTOR 
key, each data point (vector value) is calculated and the data is displayed. The 
numeric value, displayed below “Avg” in the status indication field in the upper 
left area of the screen, indicates the number of past sweeps to be used for 
averaging the current trace. The number becomes effective when the current 
sweep is completed. Immediately after the averaging function is turned on, there 
is no past sweep data and so the count starts from 0. If you restart the averaging 
with the AVERAGING RESTART key or you change instrument states that 
affect measured data, the averaging sweep count is reset to 0. After that, data is 
averaged over the available data at that time, and the displayed trace is updated 
each time a new sweep is performed until the count reaches the averaging count 
specified with the AVERAGING FACTOR key. When the count reaches the 
specified averaging count, averaging is performed over the past trace data 
measured as many times as the specified averaging factor, including the new 
measured data, and the resulting data are displayed. Refer to Equation 5-1 on 
page  126 for the algorithm of the sweep-to-sweep averaging.
AVER {ON|OFF}
AVERAGING FACTOR Sets the averaging count for the sweep-to-sweep averaging. Specify an integer 
between 1 and 256.
AVERFACT <value>
POINT AVG on OFF For both the A and B traces, toggles on and off the averaging (point averaging) 
function that executes averaging of the data of the specified count at each 
measurement point and displays the result.
PAVER {ON|OFF}
POINT AVG FACTOR Sets the averaging count for the point averaging. Specify an integer between 1 
and 256. Refer to Equation 5-2 on page  128 for the algorithm of the point 
averaging.
PAVERFACT <value>

Selects 1 as the measurement bandwidth (during list sweep segment edit, sets the 
measurement bandwidth of the segment to 1). The measurement speed is fastest.
BWFACT 1
 2

Selects 2 as the measurement bandwidth (during list sweep segment edit, sets the 
measurement bandwidth of the segment to 2).
