SENSe Subsystem 8
U8480 Series Programming Guide 181
[SENSe[1]:]AVERage:COUNt:AUTO <boolean>
This command enables and disables automatic averaging.
When the auto-filter mode is enabled, the U8480 Series 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 U8480 Series is currently
operating. Figure 8-1 is an example of the averaged number of readings for each
range and resolution when the U8480 Series is in the auto measurement average
mode.
Setting this command to ON automatically sets the [SENSe[1]:]AVERage:STATe
command to ON.
Figure 8-1 Example of averaged readings
If [SENSe[1]:]AVERage:COUNt:AUTO is set to OFF, the filter length is set by the
[SENSe[1]:]AVERage:COUNt command. Using the [SENSe[1]:]AVERage:COUNt
command disables automatic averaging.
Auto-averaging is enabled by the MEASure:POWer:AC? and CONFigure:POWer:AC?
queries.
