Single/Continuous; Resolution - Keysight N9923A FieldFox User Manual

An average counter is shown in the left edge of the screen as Avg N. This shows the
number of previous sweeps that have been averaged together to form the current
trace. When the counter reaches the specified count, then a 'running average' of the
last N sweeps is displayed. Average Count = 1 means there is NO averaging.
This setting can be changed at any time without affecting calibration accuracy.
NOTE Averaging is often used to increase the dynamic range of a measurement. To achieve
the highest dynamic range, select NA mode and reduce the IF Bandwidth setting.
Learn more about dynamic range on page 33.
How to set Trace Averaging
 Press BW 2 .
 Then
 Enter a value using the numeric keypad. Enter 1 for NO averaging.
 Press Enter.
 While Trace Averaging is in process, press Sweep 3 then
Single or Continuous Measure
This setting determines whether the FieldFox measures continuously or only once
each time the
allow you to save or analyze a specific measurement.
This setting can be changed at any time without affecting calibration accuracy.
How to set Single or Continuous
 Press Sweep 3.
 Then choose one of the following:
 You can also use Run / Hold +/- to toggle between Single and Continuous.
Resolution (Number of Data Points)
Data points are individual measurements that are made and plotted across the X-
axis to form a trace. Select more data points to increase measurement resolution.
However, more data points require more time to complete an entire measurement
sweep.
When the Resolution is changed after a calibration is performed, the cal becomes
interpolated. Learn more on page 62.
How to set Resolution
 Press Sweep 3.
 Then Resolution.
