Averaging Trigger
The averaging trigger function is used to execute the number of sweeps
specified as the averaging factor with a single trigger when the sweep
averaging function is used. When a trigger is given, the sweep count is
cleared, the sweep is executed the number of times specified by the
averaging count, and then the instrument goes into Hold status.
The setting of the averaging trigger function is valid for all channels. Note
that you can set the sweep averaging function for each channel.
Toggling Mode
To toggle ON/OFF the averaging trigger function, use the following
command:
:TRIG:AVER
• When the point trigger function is on, its setting has priority and
the setting of the averaging trigger is ignored. More specifically,
the required number of triggers is: number of measurement
points in a single sweep x averaging factor.
• When the averaging function is off for the active channel, the
averaging trigger function does not work for the channel. When
a trigger is given, the sweep is executed only once, and then
the instrument goes into Hold status.
