Explanation
Averaged Measurement
A progress bar is displayed during averaged measurement. When the measurement finishes, the
progress bar stops automatically. If you set Avg Duration to Auto, the duration to average over is
displayed at the top of the screen. If you specify a setting other than Auto, a value that indicates the
progress is displayed. When the measurement completes correctly, 100% is displayed. The time that
the measurement takes to complete varies depending on settings such as the distance range and the
average count.
If you are using markers to perform an averaged measurement, when the measurement completes
correctly (100%), the Instrument automatically closes the marker measurement screen.
If Event Search is set to Auto, the event screen appears when the measurement is completed
correctly.

Measured data can automatically be saved when averaged measurements are completed. For the
setup procedure, see section 3.5.
