Controlling the measurement
The power sensor offers a bunch of possibilities to control the measurement:
●
Do you want to start the measurement immediately after the initiate command or
do you want to wait for a trigger event?
●
Do you want to start a single measurement cycle or a sequence of measurement
cycles?
●
Do you want to output each new average value as a measurement result or do you
want to bundle more measured values into one result?

See the power sensor user manual for examples on the interplay of the controlling
mechanisms.
6.1.2.1
Controlling the measurement results
The R&S NRX can cope with the wide range of measurement scenarios with the help
of the so-called "termination control". Depending on how fast your measurement
results change, you can define, how the measurement results are output.
Repeating termination control
Outputs a measurement result when the entire measurement has been completed.
This means that the number of measurement cycle repetitions is equal to the set aver-
age count. If the average count is large, the measurement time can be very long.
Useful if you expect slow changes in the results, and you want to avoid outputting
redundant data.
Moving termination control
Outputs intermediate values to facilitate early detection of changes in the measured
quantity. This means that for each partial measurement, a new average value is output
as a measurement result. Thus, the measurement result is a moving average of the
last partial measurements. How many of the partial measurements are averaged is
defined by the average count.
Useful if you want to detect trends in the result during the measurement.
