"Average/Hold Number" on page 381 and "Average Type" on page 382.
3.2.8.1 Settings
Contains frequently used Meas Setup functions to which you will want the fastest
access.
Average/Hold Number
Sets the terminal count number N for Average, Max Hold and Min Hold trace types.
This number is an integral part of how the average trace is calculated. Basically,
increasing N results in a smoother average trace.

Couplings Restarting any of these functions (Average, Max Hold or Min Hold) restarts all of them, as there is only
one count

Annotation The current average/hold count K is displayed, up to the terminal count N, in the Meas Bar, as
Avg | Hold: K/N
when any active (updating) trace is in Average, Max Hold or Min Hold
For example, Trace 2 in Average:, 10 of 100 counts so far:
Avg | Hold: 10/100
If in Continuous, and the Terminal count has been surpassed, the annotation shows as
Avg | Hold: >N/N
For example, Continuous sweep, Trace 2 in Average, Avg/Hold number is 100, but 150 averages have
been taken so far:
Avg | Hold: >100/100
No count is displayed if no trace is in Average or Hold
