Figure 8-2: Burst average measurement parameters
To prevent power drops due to modulation from being erroneously interpreted as the
end of a pulse, you must define the dropout tolerance. This is a time interval in which
the pulse end is only recognized if the signal level no longer exceeds the trigger level.
Triggering a burst average measurement
In the burst average mode, only internal trigger events from the signal are evaluated,
irrespective of the setting of the
parameter is also ignored, so that the measurement interval begins exactly when the
signal exceeds the trigger level.
Defining a time interval for the measurement
Time intervals that are to be excluded from the measurement can be set at the begin-
ning and at the end of the measurement interval with the commands
[SENSe<Sensor>:]TIMing:EXCLude:STARt
EXCLude:STOP
on page 85.
