Obtaining Stable Measured Values
Reducing measured value
variability (
smoothing function)
This function averages multiple measured values to reduce measured value variability. It can only
be enabled while the instrument is in the
RUN
To reduce variability in a state other than the
RUN
state, adjust the integration time.
The smoothing function averages the most recent measured value the set number of times and
displays the result (using a moving average). When the smoothing function is enabled, the display
refresh speed does not change, but the response time increases.
Example: Display values (D1 to D4: measured values) when the smoothing count is set to 3

SMOOTHING
1
Enable the smoothing function.
(Default setting:
OFF
)
2
Set the smoothing count.
˄
Increases the value by 1.
˅
Decreases the value by 1.
(Valid setting range: 2 to 100; default
setting: 4)
Important
The smoothing memory is automatically erased at the following times:
• When the smoothing, temperature
compensation
, scaling, NULL, or trigger source setting is
changed
• When the instrument is reset
• When the panel load function is used
• When a measurement error occurs
• When the instrument is turned off
• When the range is changed
