Setting the Averaging
This section provides an overview of setting the averaging. For more detailed
information on this feature, refer to the individual commands in Chapter 8, SENSe
Subsystem.
Averaging
The U8480 Series 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 U8480 Series to the auto-filter mode. To enable and
disable averaging, use the following command:
[SENSe[1]:]AVERage[:STATe] <boolean>
Auto-averaging mode
To enable or disable auto-filter mode, use the following command:
[SENSe[1]:]AVERage:COUNt:AUTO <boolean>
When the auto-filter mode is enabled, the U8480 Series automatically sets the
number of readings averaged together to satisfy the filtering requirements for
most power measurements. The number of readings averaged together depends
on the resolution and the power level currently being measured. Refer to
“Auto-Averaging Settings” on page 374 for more information.
