Power Sensor Configuration Settings

The auto- averaging settings shown in Figure 2- 3 are automatically

configured when the U2000 Series USB power sensors are connected.

In Figure 2- 3, the dotted- line arrow indicates the internal range based

on the internal circuitry of the power sensor. The ranges will be

automatically selected in correspondence with the power level to best fit

the operating conditions and settings.

NOTE

Averaging settings can also be manually configured.
