Multi waveform
For each channel, up to three waveforms can be shown and analyzed. The decimation
mode and the waveform arithmetic are specific for each waveform. So you can analyze
several aspects of the signal: For example, waveform1 shows the peaks, and wave-
form2 shows the average of the signal.
Remote command:
ACQuire:MUWaveform

Average count (N-single count)
Access:
●
"Menu" > "Acquire" > "Setup" tab > "N-single count"
●
"Menu" > "Acquire" > "Mode" tab > "Average count"
●
"Menu" > "Acquire" > "Segmented" tab > disable "Acquire maximum" > "Required"
●
[Math] > "Arithmetic" tab > "Mode" is not "Off" > "Average count"
The acquisition and average count has several effects:
●
It sets the number of waveforms acquired with [Single]
●
It defines the number of waveforms used to calculate the average waveform.
Thus, the instrument acquires sufficient waveforms to calculate the correct average
if "Average" is enabled for waveform arithmetic. The higher the value is, the better
the noise is reduced.
●
It sets the number of acquisitions to be acquired in a fast segmentation acquisition
series. Thus, you can acquire exactly one fast segmentation acquisition series with
[Single].
If fast segmentation is enabled and configured to acquire the maximum number of
acquisitions, the acquisition count is set to that maximum number and cannot be
changed.

"Number of acquisitions" on page 132.
●
It is the "Finished" criteria for the state of a mask test.
Remote command:
ACQuire:COUNt
on page 1334
Arithmetic Reset > Mode
Defines when the envelope and average evaluation restarts.
"None" No restart, the number of acquisitions considered by the waveform
arithmetics is not limited.
"Time" Restarts the envelope and average calculation after the time defined
in "Time".
"Waveforms" Restarts the envelope and average calculation after a number of
acquired waveforms defined in "Count".
Remote command:
ACQuire:ARESet:MODE
on page 1335
ACQuire:ARESet:TIME
on page 1335
ACQuire:ARESet:COUNt
on page 1335
Reset
Forces the immediate restart of the envelope and average calculation for all wave-
forms.
