[SENSe[1]]|SENSe2:AVERage:COUNt:AUTO <Boolean>|ONCE
HP E4418B/E4419B Programming Guide 9-7
[SENSe[1]]|SENSe2:AVERage:COUNt:AUTO <Boolean>|ONCE
This command is used to enable and disable automatic averaging. ONCE
has no affect on the power meter.
When the auto filter mode is enabled, the power meter 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 meter is currently operating. Figure 9-1 lists the number of
readings averaged for each range and resolution when the power meter is
in auto filter mode.
Setting this command to ON automatically sets the
[SENSe[1]]|SENSe2:AVERage:STATe command to ON.
Figure 9-1: Averaged Readings
If [SENSe[1]]|SENSe2:AVERage:COUNt:AUTO is set to OFF, the filter
length is set by the [SENSe[1]]|SENSe2:AVERage:COUNt command.
Using the [SENSe[1]]|SENSe2:AVERage:COUNt command
automatically disables automatic averaging.
Auto averaging is enabled by the MEASure:POWer:AC? and
CONFigure:POWer:AC? commands.
