SING THE VERAGE
Use the Average mode to smooth the displayed waveform; multiple data samples will
be averaged. The number of samples to average is selectable from 4, 16, 64, up to
128.
Note:
For best results, the waveform must be repetitive. As the number of average
samples increases the waveform updating time increases. Refer to the following:
1. Press the MENU key; the function menu will appear on the right side of the
screen.
2. Press MENU ▲ or MENU ▼ to select the ACQU (acquisition) mode; Four (4)
selectable options will display at the bottom of the screen.
3. Press the F3 key to select Average Factors and then press the F4 key to
jump to Averages 16. The meter then averages 16 samples (or acquisitions)
and displays the final result. Refer to Figure 13:
