[:SENSe]:DETector:TRACe[1]234 AUTO?

This command switches automatically to the optimum detection type for typical measurements using the current instrument settings.

The detector type is average if any of these are on:

Noise marker

Band power markers

Trace averaging when the Average Type is Power (RMS).

The detector type is sample if any of the following conditions are true:

Trace averaging is on with average type of video

Both max. and min. hold trace modes are on

Resolution bandwidth is less than 1 kHz, and noise marker, band power markers, or trace averaging is on.

The detector type is negative peak if any trace is in minimum hold and no traces are in max hold. The detector type is peak if the above conditions are off.

Manually changing the detector function turns Auto off.
