From the front panel, you can view the following statistical data for any set of
readings: average or mean (AVG), maximum (MAX), minimum (MIN), standard

The following queries return the mean, minimum value, maximum value,
standard deviation, peak–to–peak value, and number of readings,
respectively, since statistics were enabled or cleared.
CALCulate:AVERage:AVERage?
CALCulate:AVERage:MINimum?
CALCulate:AVERage:MAXimum?
CALCulate:AVERage:SDEViation?
CALCulate:AVERage:PTPeak?
CALCulate:AVERage:COUNt?
Refer to the Agilent 34410A/11A/L4411A Programmer’s Reference Help for
a complete description and syntax for these commands.
The stored statistical data are cleared when statistics are enabled, when the
