Normally, the measurement is started anew after parameter changes, before the mea-
surement results are analyzed (e.g. using a marker). In all cases that require a new
measurement after parameter changes, the trace is reset automatically to avoid false
results (e.g. with span changes). For applications that require no reset after parameter
changes, the automatic reset can be switched off.
The default setting is off.
Remote command:
Average Mode
Defines the mode with which the trace is averaged over several sweeps. A different
averaging mode can be defined for each trace.
This setting is only applicable if trace mode "Average" is selected.
How many sweeps are averaged is defined by the
For details see
chapter 7.3.1.4, "How Trace Data is Averaged - the Averaging Mode"
"Linear"
The power level values are converted into linear units prior to averag-
ing. After the averaging, the data is converted back into its original
unit.
"Logarithmic"
For logarithmic scaling, the values are averaged in dBm. For linear
scaling, the behavior is the same as with linear averaging.
"Power"
Activates linear power averaging.
The power level values are converted into unit Watt prior to averag-
ing. After the averaging, the data is converted back into its original
unit.
Use this mode to average power values in Volts or Amperes cor-
rectly.
Remote command:
Average Count
Determines the number of averaging or maximum search procedures If the trace
modes "Average", "Max Hold" or "Min Hold" are set.
In continuous sweep mode, if sweep count = 0 (default), averaging is performed over
10 sweeps. For sweep count =1, no averaging, maxhold or minhold operations are per-
formed.
This value is identical to the
setting in the "Sweep" configura-
tion.
