1 Set the channel offset which is applied to the measured power prior to any mathematical functions.
Simplified measurement path
2 Set the measurement frequency.
3 Set the trace unit, start time, and length.
4 Set the automatic or manual measurement average mode. The number of readings averaged can range from 1 to 1024.
Increasing the value of the measurement average reduces measurement noise, but increases measurement time. The
measurement average filter can also be reset.
Below shows the typical number of averages for each range and resolution when the U2020 X-Series is in the
auto-average mode and set to the normal speed mode.
The four resolution levels represent:
– 1, 0.1, 0.01, 0.001 dB respectively if the measurement suffix is dBm or dB.
– 1, 2, 3, or 4 significant digits respectively if the measurement suffix is W or %.
