SENSe Subsystem 10
N1911A/1912A P-Series Power Meters Programming Guide 363
[SENSe[1]]|SENSe2:AVERage:COUNt <numeric_value>
This command is used to enter a value for the filter length. If
[SENSe[1]]|SENSe2:AVERage:COUNt:AUTO is set to ON then entering a
value for the filter length automatically sets it to OFF. Increasing the value
of filter length increases measurement accuracy but also increases the
time taken to make a power measurement.
Entering a value using this command automatically turns the
[SENSe[1]]|SENSe2:AVERage:STATe command to ON.
NOTE
For most applications, automatic filter length selection
([SENSe[1]]|SENSe2:AVERage:COUNt:AUTO ON) is the best mode of operation.
However, manual filter length selection ([SENSe[1]]|SENSe2:AVERage:COUNt
<numeric_value>) is useful in applications requiring either high resolution or fast
settling times, where signal variations rather than measurement noise need filtering, or
when approximate results are needed quickly.
