ONCE

Automatically determines an averaging factor under the current
measurement conditions. Then changes to the fixed filter setting
(see 

OFF

) and uses this averaging factor.

*RST: 

ON

SENSe<Sensor>:AVERage:COUNt:AUTO:MTIMe 

<maximum_time>

Sets an upper limit for the settling time of the auto-averaging filter if 

SENSe<Sensor>:

AVERage:COUNt:AUTO:TYPE

 is set to 

NSRatio

. Thus it limits the length of the filter.

Parameters:

<maximum_time>

Range: 

0.01  to  999.99

*RST: 

4.00

Default unit: Seconds

SENSe<Sensor>:AVERage:COUNt:AUTO:NSRatio 

<nsr>

Determines the relative noise component in the measurement result for the measure-
ment modes with scalar results. These measurement modes are continuous average,
burst average and timeslot, provided the particular power sensor supports them.

This command is only effective if the auto average calculation is enabled:

●

SENSe<Sensor>:AVERage:COUNt:AUTO

 

ON

●

SENSe<Sensor>:AVERage:COUNt:AUTO:TYPE

 

NSR

The noise component is defined as the magnitude of the level variation in dB caused
by the inherent noise of the power sensor (two standard deviations).

The query returns the relative noise component in the measured value.

Parameters:

<nsr>

Range: 

100.000e-6  to  1.00

*RST: 

0.01

Default unit: dB

SENSe<Sensor>:AVERage:COUNt:AUTO:RESolution 

<resolution>

Defines the number of significant places for linear units and the number of decimal pla-
ces for logarithmic units that are likely free of noise in the measurement result.

The setting is only considered, if the following applies:

●

SENSe<Sensor>:AVERage:COUNt:AUTO

 

ON

●

SENSe<Sensor>:AVERage:COUNt:AUTO:TYPE

 

RES

Parameters:

<resolution>

Range: 

1  to  4

*RST:
