4 - 76 COMMAND REFERENCE
SENSe:AVERage[:STATe]
Syntax:
SENSe:AVERage[:STATe] <Boolean>
Query form:
SENSe:AVERage[:STATe]?
Response:
0 | 1
0 AVERAGE function switched off.
1 AVERAGE function switched on.
Description:
Switches the preprocessing AVERAGE function on or off. If switched on,
measurement values and acquisition traces are averaged according to the
average count factor (SENSe:AVERage:COUnt). Averaging is a way to suppress
noise without loosing bandwidth. It can only be used for repetitive signals. If the
oscilloscope is in the analog mode, error -221 "Settings conflict;Digital mode
required" is generated.
After a
*
RST command, the AVERAGE function is switched off.
Example:
Send
→
*
RST Resets the instrument Trigger
source to IMMediate
Send
→ CONFigure:AC Configures for AC-RMS.
Send
→ TRIGger:INTernal 1 Makes channel 1 the trigger source.
Send
→ SENSe:AVERage:COUNt 16 Average count factor becomes 16.
Send
→ SENSe:AVERage ON Switches average function on.
Send
→ READ:AC? Starts averaging AC-RMS.
Read
← <AC-RMS voltage averaged over 16 sequential
acquisitions from channel 1>
Note: For single-shot averaged acquisitions the trigger source must be one of
the input channels <n> (INTernal<n>), instead of IMMediate (software
automatic trigger).
Front panel compliance:
The SENSe:AVERage[:STATe] command is the remote equivalent of the front
panel AVERAGE key.
