Configuring Measurement Averaging Parameters - Agilent Technologies 8960 10 Series Reference Manual

Step 3: Configure the Measurement Execution Parameters

Configuring Measurement Averaging Parameters

Multi-Measurement Count State Parameter
The Multi-Measurement Count State parameter is used to turn measurement averaging on and off.
Example 1. Command Syntax:
SETup:<meas-mnemonic>:COUNt:STATe <ON|1|OFF|0>
Example 2. Programming Example:
OUTPUT Test_set;"SET:PVT:COUN:STATe ON"
would turn measurement averaging ON for the power versus time measurement.
Multi-Measurement Count Number Parameter
The Multi-Measurement Count Number parameter sets the number of measurement samples taken during
each measurement cycle when the COUNt:STATe parameter is set to ON.
Example 3. Command Syntax:
SETup:<meas-mnemonic>:COUNt:NUMBer <numeric value>
Example 4. Programming Example:
OUTPUT Test_set;"SET:TXP:COUN:NUMB 10"
would set the number of averages to 10 for the transmit power measurement.
Configuring Multi-Measurement Count State and Count Number Simultaneously
The multi-measurement count state can be set to ON and the multi-measurement count number can be set to
some value using a single complex command.
Example 5. Command Syntax:
SETup:<meas-mnemonic>:COUNt[:SNUMber] <numeric value>
Example 6. Programming Example:
OUTPUT Test_set;"SET:TXP:COUN:SNUM 10"
would set the multi-measurement count state to ON and set the number of averages to 10 for the transmit
power measurement. Note that in this example the optional command mnemonic :SNUMber has been
included for purposes of clarity.
