13.3 Setting FFT Analysis Conditions

Trigger Modes and Averaging
If the trigger mode is [Single] or the calculation setting is [Once]
Measurements continue until the specified number of averaging points is acquired.
If the trigger mode is [Continue] or the calculation setting is [Repeat]
Measurement continues after the specified averaging count has been acquired.
When the specified averaging count is exceeded, averaging is repeated and measurement continues until the
STOP
key is pressed.
When the trigger mode is [Auto]
•For time-domain waveforms:
Data is acquired when the START key is pressed, even if trigger criteria are not met after a certain
interval. So if averaging is applied to an asynchronous signal, the resulting data is meaningless.
•For spectrum values:
When the START key is pressed, measurement starts. Even if the trigger criteria are not met, the spec-
ified amount of data is acquired, and after FFT analysis, the results are averaged.
When the specified averaging count is exceeded, averaging is repeated and measurement continues
until the STOP key is pressed.

*1. Awaiting trigger continues until the specified count is reached.
*2. Measurement stops automatically when the specified count is
reached. If measurement was interrupted by the STOP key, the
averaging result up to that point is displayed.
*3 If [Reference] is [New Data] and the automatic saving or auto-
matic print setting is ON, data is saved or printed when the spec-
ified number of times is reached.
