10 SENSe Subsystem
[SENSe[1]]|SENSe2:AVERage:COUNt:AUTO <boolean>
This command enables and disables automatic averaging. ONCE has no affect on
the power meter.
When the auto filter mode is enabled, the power meter automatically sets the
number of readings averaged together to satisfy the averaging requirements for
most power measurements. The number of readings averaged together depends
on the resolution and the power level in which the power meter is currently
operating.
range and resolution when the power meter is in auto measurement average
mode and using a P-Series power sensor.
Setting this command to ON automatically sets the
[SENSe[1]]|SENSe2:AVERage:STATe command to ON.
Figure 10-1
If [SENSe[1]]|SENSe2:AVERage:COUNt:AUTO is set to OFF, the filter length is set
by the [SENSe[1]]|SENSe2:AVERage:COUNt command. Using the
[SENSe[1]]|SENSe2:AVERage:COUNt command disables automatic averaging.
Auto averaging is enabled by the MEASure:POWer:AC? and CONFigure:POWer:AC?
commands.
