Averaging Acquisition Mode

The Averaging mode lets you average multiple acquisitions together to
reduce noise and increase vertical resolution (at all time/div settings).
Averaging requires a stable trigger.
The number of averages can be set from 2 to 65536 in power- of- 2

A higher number of averages reduces noise more and increases vertical
resolution.
