][:CHANnel[
m
]]:FUNCtion:PARameter:LOGGing<wsp><data points>,
<averaging time>[NS|US|MS|S]
description:
Sets the number of data points and the averaging time for the logging data acquisition function.
parameters:
Data Points:
Averaging time:
Data Points is the number of samples that are recorded before the logging mode is completed.
Data Points is an
integer
value.
Averaging time is a time value in seconds.
There is no time delay between averaging time periods. Use
:SENSe[n][:CHANnel[m]]:FUNCtion:PARameter:STABility?
you want to use delayed measurement.
If you specify no units for the averaging time value in your command, seconds are used as the default.
See
:SENSe[n][:CHANnel[m]]:FUNCtion:STATe
on page 104 for information on starting/stopping a data
acquisition function.
See
:SENSe[n][:CHANnel[m]]:FUNCtion:RESult?
on page 100 for information on accessing the results of a
data acquisition function.
