The average factor is also valid for calibration sweeps. The calculation of system cor-
rection data is based on the averaged trace.
Factor / On / Reset
"Factor" defines the number of averaged traces, "On" enables or disables the sweep
average, "Reset" starts a new average cycle. The average cycle is also restarted when
the
Remote command:

Mode
Selects one of the following averaging algorithms:
●
"Auto":
Automatic selection between
"Reduce Noise"
and
"Flatten Noise"
mode, depending on the trace type.
●
"Reduce Noise":
Cumulative moving averages of the real and imaginary parts of
each measurement result, provides the most effective noise suppression for the
"Real" and "Imag" formats and for polar diagrams.
●
"Flatten Noise":
Cumulative moving averages of the (linear) magnitude and phase
values, provides the most effective noise suppression for the "dB Mag", "Phase",
"Unwr. Phase", and "Lin Mag" formats.
●
"Moving Average":
Simple moving averages of the real and imaginary parts of
each measurement result; similar to "Reduce Noise", but with finite history.
Changing the mode resets the average cycle.
Note:
For frequency conversion measurements, always "Flatten Noise" is used.
