Controlling the measurement results
The R&S
NRPM3(N) sensor module can cope with the wide range of measure-
ment scenarios with the help of the so-called "termination control". Depending on
how fast your measurement results change, you can define, how to retrieve the
measurement results.
In continuous average mode, use
[SENSe<Sensor>:]AVERage:TCONtrol
[SENSe<Sensor>:]TRACe:AVERage:TCONtrol
.
Repeating termination control
Returns a measurement result when the average filter has been filled completely.
The number of measurement cycle repetitions is equal to the set average count. If
the average count is large, the measurement time can take long time.
Useful if you expect slow changes in the results, and you want to avoid the output
of redundant data.
Select repeating termination control when executing remote control applica-
tions, as you are usually only interested in the results of the fully settled
average filter.
Moving termination control
Returns intermediate values to facilitate early detection of changes in the mea-
sured quantity. For each partial measurement, the sensor module returns a new
average value as an intermediate measurement result. Thus, the individual result
is a moving average of the last partial measurements. The parameter average
count defines how many partial measurements are included.
Select the moving termination control when you want to observe and detect
trends in the results during an ongoing measurement.

Interplay of the controlling mechanisms
The following examples use continuous measurement scenarios. But these sce-
narios apply also to single measurements. The only difference is that a single
measurement is not repeated.
