3.5.1
Auto Averaging
The 8650B is normally used in the auto-averaging mode. The power meter chooses an averaging factor that is
appropriate for the ambient noise level.
3.5.1.1
Activating the Auto Filter Mode
The command which activates auto-averaging for a sensor is based on the FA function. The command format is:
Syntax:
[AE or BE] FA
[AE or BE] prefix specifies Sensor A or Sensor B
FA activates the auto filter mode for the selected sensor
Example:
AE FA
! ACTIVATES AUTO AVERAGING FILTERING FOR SENSOR A
3.5.1.2
Setting the Measurement Settling Target
In the auto-averaging mode, the 8650B chooses the lowest averaging factor that will yield a stable measurement
at the present resolution setting. Stability is defined in terms of peak-to-peak variation in the measurement; the
variation target value is expressed as a percentage of average power. Default values for this Measurement
Settling Target are:
Table 3-15: Measurement Setting Target Default Values
Resolution
Peak to Peak Variation
xx.
25% (±1.0 dB)
xx.x
4.7% (±0.2 dB)
xx.xx
0.46% (±0.02 dB)
xx.xxx
0.10% (±0.004 dB)
Because the target value affects the speed of measurement, it is possible to increase measurement speed by
increasing the target value (a small increase in the target value can result in a large increase in speed). If the
auto-averaging mode is selected using the front panel menus, or the AE FA or BE FA commands as described
above, the default target values shown in the table are used. However, it is possible to add a numeric variable
after FA in order to specify a different target value:
Syntax:
[AE or BE] FA [t] [EN or % or PCT]
[AE or BE] prefix specifies Sensor A or Sensor B
FA activates the auto filter mode for the selected sensor
[t] represents the measurement settling target value in percent, and has a valid range of 0.10%
to 100.00%
[EN or % or PCT] is a required terminating suffix
Example:
BE FA 0.8 %
! ACTIVATES AUTO AVERAGING FILTERING FOR SENSOR B,
! WITH A MEASUREMENT SETTLING TARGET OF 0.8%
