Averaging; Single/Continuous - Keysight N9912A User Manual

For best measurement accuracy, use the Manual power setting at -15 dBm. After
calibration, the power level can be decreased for amplifiers, or increased for higher
dynamic range.
Caution Power Level settings in this mode will NOT change Power Level settings in other
modes. To help prevent damage to your DUT, use caution when changing modes with
your DUT connected to the FieldFox test ports.

Averaging

Averaging helps to reduce the effects of random noise on a measurement. The
FieldFox computes the displayed value over several consecutive readings.
Average Count determines the number of readings to average. The higher the
average count, the greater the amount of noise reduction.
An average counter is shown in the left edge of the screen as Avg N. This shows the
number of previous readings that have been averaged together. When the counter
reaches the specified count, then a 'running average' of the last N readings is
displayed.
Average Count = 1 means there is NO averaging.
This setting can be changed at any time without affecting calibration accuracy.
How to set Averaging
 Press Meas Setup 4

 Then
 Enter a value using the numeric keypad. Enter 1 for NO averaging.
 Press Enter.
 While Averaging is in process, press Meas Setup 4, then More, then
Single or Continuous Measure
This setting determines whether the FieldFox measures continuously or only once
