The following table summarizes the filter commands. See the TSP command reference (on page 11-1)
for details about commands.
smua.measure.filter.count = count
Set filter count (1 to 100)
smua.measure.filter.enable = smua.FILTER_ON
smua.measure.filter.enable = smua.FILTER_OFF
smua.measure.filter.type = smua.FILTER_MEDIAN
Select median filter type
smua.measure.filter.type = smua.FILTER_MOVING_AVG
Select moving average filter type
smua.measure.filter.type = smua.FILTER_REPEAT_AVG
Select repeat average filter type
Filter programming example
The programming example below illustrates how to set the following filter options:
• Filter type: Moving average
• Filter count: 10
• Filter state: Enabled
-- Program count to 10.
smua.measure.filter.count = 10
-- Moving average filter type.
smua.measure.filter.type = smua.FILTER_MOVING_AVG
-- Enable filter.
smua.measure.filter.enable = smua.FILTER_ON
