4.4.8.2.3 Average Mode
There are four modes which define how the average is determined.
• Repeat: Adds the values for each measurement and divides this number by the Count value.
• Exponential: Each successive data acquisition after the average count is reached is exponentially weighted
and combined with the existing average. Exponential averaging weights new data more than old data, which
facilitates tracking of slow-changing signals. The average will be displayed at the end of each measurement.
Key Path: Meas Setup
Remote Command: [:SENSe]:MODDist:BANDwidth|BWIDth:TYPE MIN|AUTO|MAN
[:SENSe]:MODDist:BANDwidth|BWIDth:TYPE?
Preset: AUTO
State Saved: Saved in instrument state.
Range: Auto|Man|Min
Notes: The IF BW type “Min” is meaningful only when the Modulation Mode is
“AM”. For FM, PM signal, the result will not be correct with this IF BW
Type.
Example: MODD:BAND:TYPE AUTO
