4 - 76 COMMAND REFERENCE

SENSe:AVERage[:STATe]

Syntax: SENSe:AVERage[:STATe] <Boolean>

Query form: SENSe:AVERage[:STATe]?

Response: 0 1

0AVERAGE function switched off.

1AVERAGE function switched on.

Description:

Switches the preprocessing AVERAGE function on or off. If switched on, measurement values and acquisition traces are averaged according to the average count factor (SENSe:AVERage:COUnt). Averaging is a way to suppress noise without loosing bandwidth. It can only be used for repetitive signals. If the oscilloscope is in the analog mode, error -221 "Settings conflict;Digital mode required" is generated.

After a *RST command, the AVERAGE function is switched off.

Example:
Send → *RST	Resets the instrument Trigger
Send → CONFigure:AC	source to IMMediate
	Configures for AC-RMS.
Send → TRIGger:INTernal 1	Makes channel 1 the trigger source.
Send → SENSe:AVERage:COUNt 16	Average count factor becomes 16.
Send → SENSe:AVERage ON	Switches average function on.
Send → READ:AC?	Starts averaging AC-RMS.

Read ← <AC-RMS voltage averaged over 16 sequential acquisitions from channel 1>

Note: For single-shot averaged acquisitions the trigger source must be one of the input channels <n> (INTernal<n>), instead of IMMediate (software automatic trigger).

Front panel compliance:

The SENSe:AVERage[:STATe] command is the remote equivalent of the front panel AVERAGE key.
