Description:
Switches the preprocessing AVERAGE function on or off. If switched on,
measurement values and acquisition traces are averaged according to the
average count factor (SENSe:AVERage:COUnt). Averaging is a way to suppress
noise without loosing bandwidth. It can only be used for repetitive signals. If the
oscilloscope is in the analog mode, error -221 "Settings conflict;Digital mode
required" is generated.
After a RST command, the AVERAGE function is switched off.

Example:
→
Send RST
*
→
Send CONFigure:AC
→
Send TRIGger:INTernal 1
→
Send SENSe:AVERage:COUNt 16
→
Send SENSe:AVERage ON
→
Send READ:AC?
←
Read <AC-RMS voltage averaged over 16 sequential
acquisitions from channel 1>
Note: For single-shot averaged acquisitions the trigger source must be one of
the input channels <n> (INTernal<n>), instead of IMMediate (software
automatic trigger).
Front panel compliance:
The SENSe:AVERage[:STATe] command is the remote equivalent of the front
panel AVERAGE key.
AVERAGE function switched off.
AVERAGE function switched on.
COMMAND REFERENCE
Resets the instrument Trigger
source to IMMediate
Configures for AC-RMS.
Makes channel 1 the trigger source.
Average count factor becomes 16.
Switches average function on.
Starts averaging AC-RMS.
