Average
When the average math function is enabled, the instrument performs measurements and displays the
average reading in the secondary display. It can also display the minimum and maximum readings,
as well as the reading count.
The data acquired by the average math function is stored in volatile memory. It is lost when power to
the instrument is cycled or when the remote interface is reset.
The average math function can be used from the front panel or by using remote operation.
