Auto Averaging Mode
To enable and disable auto filter mode, use the following command:
[SENSe[1]]|SENSe2:AVERage:COUNt:AUTO <boolean>
When the auto filter mode is enabled, the power meter automatically sets
the number of readings averaged together to satisfy the filtering
requirements for most power measurements. The number of readings
averaged together depends on the resolution and the power level currently
being measured. Figure 1- 2 lists the number of readings averaged for each
range and resolution when the power meter is in auto filter mode.
