Averaging (See section 4.10 for operating instructions)
The averaging function is effective when reading of the numeric display is difficult due to
fluctuations. This occurs when the fluctuation of the power supply or the load is large or
when the input signal frequency is low.
During Normal Measurement
Two types of averages are available: exponential averages and moving averages.
• Exponential Average
Numeric data can be exponentially averaged using a specified attenuation constant.
Averaging is performed according to the following equation.

D
n
:
Displayed value that has been exponentially averaged n times. (The first
displayed value D

is equal to M

.)
D
n–1
:
Displayed value that has been exponentially averaged n–1 times.
M
n
:
Measured data at the nth time.
K:
Attenuation constant (can be selected from 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, and 64)
• Moving Average
Numeric data can be linearly averaged using a specified average count. Averaging is
performed according to the following equation.

During Harmonic Measurement
When exponential averaging is specified, the harmonic measurement functions are
averaged.
When averaging is set to moving average, averaging is only performed on normal
measurement functions, not on harmonic measurement functions.
