Averaging
Averaging is used to improve measurement accuracy in low power or noisy
power situations. Increased averaging improves measurement accuracy, but also
reduces measurement speed.
How to set Power Meter Averaging
Press BW 2 or Meas Setup 4.
Then choose from the following:
o Averaging Auto Man Off
o Auto Allows the USB Power Sensor to use its Auto Averaging settings.
See the USB Power Sensor documentation for details.
o Man Manually enter an averaging count by setting Num Averages.
o OFF Performs NO averaging.
o Num Averages Sets the number of Power Meter readings to be averaged
before a valid reading is displayed. When a number is entered, Averaging is
automatically set to Man
Single or Continuous Measure
This setting determines whether the FieldFox measures continuously or only
once each time the Single button is pressed. Use Single to conserve battery
power or to allow you to save or analyze a specific measurement.
This setting can be changed at any time without affecting calibration accuracy.
How to set Single or Continuous
Press Sweep 3.
Then choose from the following:
o Single Automatically sets Continuous OFF and causes FieldFox to make
ONE measurement, then hold for the next Single key press. When a data
trace is displayed, the entire trace is measured, then holds. The Hold
annotation changes to an arrow --> while the measurement occurs.
o Continuous Makes continuous measurements. This is the typical setting
when battery power is not critical.
You can also use Run / Hold +/- to toggle between Single and Continuous.
