Smoothing the Waveform (Average)

The test tool can average multiple samples of a waveform, allowing for noise suppression without loss of bandwidth. To select average in the Scope mode, do the following:

1.From the More Scope window, highlight AVERAGE WAVEFORMS.

2.Press to open the list box.

3.Use to choose the number of waveforms to average for each display update. The maximum number is 256.

4.Press to select.

5.Press (CLOSE) to close the window.

To turn off averaging, set AVERAGE WAVEFORMS to be off again.

NOTE

AVERAGE WAVEFORMS: OFF changes to AVERAGE

WAVEFORMS: by 4 in the 10 mV and 20 mV attenuator ranges when a 10:1 probe is used.

Additional information about smoothing appears in Chapter 6. Waveform samples with and without averaging are shown in Figure 5-9.
