13.3 Setting FFT Analysis Conditions
216
The averaging function calculates the average of the values obtained from multiple measurements of a peri-
odic waveform. This can reduce noise and other non-periodic signal components. Averaging can be applied
to a time-domain waveform or to a spectrum.
13.3.7 Averaging Waveforms
1
Enable averaging.
Move the cursor to the
[Average]
item.
Select
2
Select the count for averaging.
Move the cursor to the
[Number]
item.
Select the number of measurements to be averaged.
Setting range: 2 to 10,000
Off
Averaging is disabled. (default setting)
Linear
(Time axis)
Time-domain waveforms are summed and averaged
and then calculation is performed.
Expo.
(Time axis)
The exponential mean of time-domain waveforms is
determined and then calculation is performed.
Linear
(Frequency)
Frequency-domain waveforms are summed and aver-
aged and then the calculation result is output.
Expo.
(Frequency)
The exponential mean of frequency-domain wave-
forms is determined and then the calculation result is
output.
Peak
(Frequency)
The maximum value of frequency-domain waveforms
is retained.

Data is saved or printed after the specified
count of values have been averaged.

• After measuring with averaging enabled, display is not available when the
channel is changed. Also, when the analysis mode is changed, the analysis
modes that can be displayed are limited.
• When averaging is performed with the analysis mode disabled (Off), no trace
is displayed when the analysis mode is changed after measurement.
•
When
[Format]
is set to
[Running spectrum]
,
[Average]
cannot be set.
