7SENSe Subsystem
166 U2000 Series Programming Guide
SENSe[1]:AVERage:COUNt:AUTO <boolean>
This command enables and disables automatic averaging. ONCE has no affect
on the power sensor.
When the auto filter mode is enabled, the power sensor automatically sets the
number of readings averaged together to satisfy the averaging requirements
for most power measurements. The number of readings averaged together
depends on the resolution and the power level in which the power sensor is
currently operating. Figure 7- 1 is an example of the averaged number of
readings for each range and resolution when the power sensor is in auto
measurement average mode.
Setting this command to ON automatically sets the SENSe[1]:AVERage:STATe
command to ON.
Figure 7-1 Example of Averaged Readings
If SENSe[1]:AVERage:COUNt:AUTO is set to OFF, the filter length is set by the
SENSe[1]:AVERage:COUNt command. Using the SENSe[1]:AVERage:COUNt
command disables automatic averaging.
Auto averaging is enabled by the MEASure:POWer:AC? and
CONFigure:POWer:AC? commands.
