Trace Mode (Normal/Average/Max Hold/Min Hold)
[:SENSe]:AVERage:TYPE
Description: Specifies how successive traces are combined to produce the resulting
display value. Setting the TYPE to NONE is the equivalent of setting
the trace mode to “Normal→A” on the front panel. The displayed value
for a point is the current measured value for that point. Setting the
TYPE to SCALar is the equivalent of setting the trace mode to
“Average→A” on the front panel. The displayed value for a point is the
average of the last <integer> measured values where <integer> is set
by [:SENSe]:AVERage:COUNt. Setting the TYPE to MAXimum is the
equivalent of setting the trace mode to “Max Hold→A” on the front
panel. The displayed value for a point is the maximum measured value
for that point over sweeps. Setting the TYPE to MINimum is the
equivalent of setting the trace mode to “Min Hold→A” on the front panel.
The displayed value for a point is the minimum measured value for that
point over sweeps.
