 Enter a value using the numeric keypad. Enter 1 for NO averaging.
 Press Enter.
 While Trace Averaging is in process, press Sweep 3 then Restart to restart
the averaging at 1.
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 one of 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.
Resolution (Number of Data Points)
Data points are individual measurements that are made and plotted across the X-
axis to form a trace. Select more data points to increase measurement resolution.
However, more data points require more time to complete an entire
measurement sweep.
When the Resolution is changed after a calibration is performed, the cal becomes
interpolated. Learn more on page 65.
How to set Resolution
 Press Sweep 3 .
 Then Resolution.
 Then choose one of the following:
101 | 201 | 401 | 601 | 801 | 1001 |1601 | 4001 | 10001
 Using SCPI, Resolution can be set to any number of points between 3 and
10001. See the Programming Guide at www.agilent.com/find/fieldsfoxsupport
Sweep Time
The fastest possible sweep time is always used as the default setting. Use the Min
Swp Time setting to slow the sweep time when measuring long lengths of cable.
