be queried with : TRACe:MATH:PEAK:DATA? This command uses only trace1
data.

Peak Sorting

:TRACe:MATH:PEAK:SORT AMPLitude|FREQuency
:TRACe:MATH:PEAK:SORT?
Determines if the signals in the : TRACe:MATH:PEAK:DATA? query are sorted
by frequency or amplitude.
Amplitude sorts the identified peaks by descending amplitude.
Frequency sorts the identified peaks by increasing frequency.
Smooth Trace Data
:TRACe:MATH:SMOoth <trace>
Smooths the trace according to the number of points specified in
: TRACe:MATH:SMOoth:POINts . There is no equivalent front panel function.
Traces are: TRACE1|2|3, and RAWTRACE commands.
The purpose of this function is to perform a spatial video averaging as compared to
the temporal version supplied by the video-average command
[:SENSe]:AVERage:TYPE VIDeo . The functions of :TRACe:MATH:SMOoth
<trace> and [:SENSe]:AVERage:TYPE VIDeo|POWer are not
interchangeable.
Each point value is replaced with the average of the values of the selected number
of points, with half of those points located on each side of any particular point
(when possible). Refer to
smoothing number of 31. Think of the trace points as "buckets" of data. To smooth
(arbitrary) point 273, the analyzer averages buckets 258 through 287 and applies
that value to point 273.
