Setting the Range, Resolution and Averaging
This section provides an overview of setting the range, resolution and averaging.
For more detailed information about these features, refer to the individual
commands in Chapter 10, "SENSe Subsystem".
Resolution
You can set the window’s resolution using the following command:
DISPlay[:WINDow[1]|2][:NUMeric[1]|2]
:RESolution <numeric_value>
There are four levels of resolution available (1 through 4).
When the measurement suffix is W or % this parameter represents the number of
significant digits. When the measurement suffix is dB or dBM, 1 through 4
represents 1, 0.1, 0.01, and 0.001 dB respectively.
Refer to the :RESolution command on page 265 for further information.
Averaging
The power meter has a digital filter to average power readings. The number of
readings averaged can range from 1 to 1024. This filter is used to reduce noise,
obtain the desired resolution and to reduce the jitter in the measurement results.
However, the time to take the measurement is increased. You can select the filter
length or you can set the power meter to auto filter mode. To enable and disable
averaging use the following command:
[SENSe[1]]|SENSe2:AVERage[:STATe] <boolean>
