SENSe1 subsystem
The SENSe1 subsystem commands configure and control the measurement functions of the
instrument.
Many of these commands are set for a specific function (current, voltage, or resistance). For example,
you can program a range setting for each function. The settings are saved with that function.
[:SENSe[1]]:<function>:AVERage:COUNt
This command sets the number of measurements that are averaged when filtering is enabled.

Usage
[:SENSe[1]]:<function>:AVERage:COUNt <n>
[:SENSe[1]]:<function>:AVERage:COUNt <DEF|MIN|MAX>
[:SENSe[1]]:<function>:AVERage:COUNt?
[:SENSe[1]]:<function>:AVERage:COUNt? <DEF|MIN|MAX>
<function>
The measure function:
 Current: CURRent[:DC]
 Resistance: RESistance
 Voltage:
VOLTage[:DC]
<n>
The number of readings required for each filtered measurement (1 to 100)
<DEF|MIN|MAX>
The DEFault, MINimum, or MAXimum value
Details
The filter count is the number of readings that are acquired and stored in the filter stack for the
averaging calculation. When the filter count is larger, more filtering is done and the data is less noisy.
If you send this command without the <function> parameter, it sets the filter count for all functions.
Example 1
CURR:AVER:COUNT 10
CURR:AVER:TCON MOV
CURR:AVER ON
For current measurements, set the averaging filter type to
moving average, with a filter count of 10.
Enable the averaging filter.
