Measure Commands
:MEASure:VAVerage
Command
:MEASure:VAVerage {CYCLe | DISPlay}[,<source>]
The :MEASure:VAVerage command calculates the average voltage over the
displayed waveform. Sources are specified with the :MEASure:SOURce
command or with the optional parameter following the :MEASure:VAVerage
command.
CYCLe
The CYCLe parameter instructs the average measurement to measure the
average voltage across the first period on the display.
DISPlay
The DISPlay parameter instructs the average measurement to measure all
the data on the display.
<source>
{CHANnel<N> | FUNCtion<F> | WMEMory<N> | CLOCk | MTRend |
MSPectrum | EQUalized}
MTRend and MSPectrum sources are only available if the oscilloscope has
the EZJIT option installed and the feature is enabled.
The CLOCk source is only available if the oscilloscope has the High Speed
Serial option installed and the feature is enabled.
The EQUalized source is only available if the oscilloscope has the High
Speed Serial option and the Serial Data Equalization option installed and
the features are enabled. This command uses the Feed- Forward Equalized
(FFE) signal as the source.
<N>
CHANnel<N> is an integer, 1- 4.
WMEMory<N> is an integer, 1- 4.
<F>
FUNCtion<F> is an integer, 1- 16.
Example
This example calculates the average voltage over the displayed waveform.
myScope.WriteString ":MEASURE:VAVERAGE DISPLAY,CHANNEL1"
Query
:MEASure:VAVerage? {CYCLe | DISPlay}[,<source>]
The :MEASure:VAVerage? query returns the calculated average voltage of
the specified source. Sources are specified with the :MEASure:SOURce
command or with the optional parameter following the :MEASure:VAVerage
command.
Returned Format
[:MEASure:VAVerage] <value>[,<result_state>]<NL>
<value>
The calculated average voltage.
<result_state>
If SENDvalid is ON, the result state is returned with the measurement
result. See the :MEASure:RESults table in this chapter for a list of the
result states.
