There are three types of mathematical averaging that can be performed – Log,
Linear, or Voltage (see
of these types and it is used for all of the above averaging processes.
How to set Average Type
1. Press Meas Setup 4 >
2. Then choose from the following:
Average Count
The Average Count setting is used mainly with the Average Trace State
described in
State, the Average Count setting determines the number of sweeps to average.
The higher the average count, the greater the amount of noise reduction.
When Trace (display) State is set to Average, MaxHold, or MinHold, the
average counter is shown in the left edge of the screen below the Average
Type.
For all three of these Trace States, when Sweep 3

- The FieldFox chooses the most appropriate type of averaging
for the current settings. When Detection Method is set to Average, a
Noise Marker is present, or a Channel measurement is active, then
Power Average is ALWAYS selected. Otherwise, Log Average is
selected.

(Linear) Averaging – Best for measuring true power levels.
Used in Detection Average and Noise Marker Average.
Mathematically, trace noise is 2.5 dB higher than when using Log
Average. PAvg is shown on the left side of the FieldFox screen when
selected.

Averaging – Converts the amplitudes to a magnitude unit
before averaging (e.g., Volts, Amps, microVolts, milliVolts, etc.)
