[SENSe[1]]|SENSe2:AVERage:COUNt:AUTO <boolean>

This command enables and disables automatic averaging. ONCE has no

affect on the power meter.

When the auto filter mode is enabled, the power meter automatically sets

the number of readings averaged together to satisfy the averaging

requirements for most power measurements. The number of readings

averaged together depends on the resolution and the power level in which

the power meter is currently operating. Figure 10- 20 is an example of the

averaged number of readings for each range and resolution when the

power meter is in auto measurement average mode and using a P- Series

or E932XX power sensor.

Setting this command to ON automatically sets the

[SENSe[1]]|SENSe2:AVERage:STATe command to ON.

the [SENSe[1]]|SENSe2:AVERage:COUNt command disables automatic

averaging.

Auto averaging is enabled by the MEASure:POWer:AC? and
