N OT E Setting parameters for the stability function sets some parameters,
including hidden parameters, for the logging and MinMax functions and
vice versa. You must use the
:SENSe[n][:CHANnel[m]]:FUNCtion:PARameter:STABility command to
set parameters before you start a stability function using the
:SENSe[n][:CHANnel[m]]:FUNCtion:STATe command.
:SENSe[n][:CHANnel[m]]:FUNCtion:PARameter:STABility
:SENSe[n][:CHANnel[m]]:FUNCtion:PARameter:STABility<wsp>
<total time>[NS|US|MS|S],<period time>[NS|US|MS|S],<averaging time>[NS|US|MS|S]
Sets the total time, period time, and averaging time for the stability data acquisition function.
Total time: The total time from the start of stability mode until it is completed.
Period time: A new measurement is started after the completion of every period time.
Averaging time: A measurement is averaged over the averaging time.
1 2
The total time should be longer than the period time.
The period time should be longer than the averaging time.
The number of data points is equal to the total time divided by the period time.
Total time, period time, and averaging time are time values in seconds.
If you specify no units in your command, seconds are used as the default.
See ":SENSe[n][:CHANnel[m]]:FUNCtion:STATe" on page 82 for information on starting/stop-
ping a data acquisition function.
See ":SENSe[n][:CHANnel[m]]:FUNCtion:RESult?" on page 81 for information on accessing
the results of a data acquisition function.
See "Triggering and Power Measurements" on page 117 for information on how triggering
affects data acquisition functions.
