Notes Previous to the X-Series, pressing Clear Write while already in Clear Write (or doing so remotely)
had no effect. Now it will clear the trace and restart the sweep
Initial S/W Revision Prior to A.02.00
Trace Average
In Trace Average type the analyzer maintains and displays an average trace, which represents the
cumulative average on a point-by-point basis of the new trace data and previous averaged trace
data. Details of the averaging calculations may be found under
"Average/Hold Number" on page
788 and "Average Type" on page 789 in the Meas Setup Section.
See "Trace Averaging: More Information" on page 1329 .
Key Path Trace/Detector
Example TRAC2:TYPE AVER
Notes See "Trace/Detector" on page 1321 .
Dependencies When Signal ID is on, this key is grayed out for Traces 2–6 in Image Supress mode and for
Traces 3–6 in Image Shift Mode.
Couplings Affected by Average Type and Average/Hold Number
Whenever you press Trace Average or send the equivalent SCPI command, Update is set to On
and Display is set to On.
Automatic detector selection and the VBW:RBW ratio auto rules both depend on the trace type
selections.
Preset After a Preset, any trace that is in Trace Average is cleared (all trace points set to
mintracevalue).
State Saved The type for each trace is saved in instrument state

Trace Averaging: More Information
Pressing the Trace Average key (for the selected trace), or sending the TRAC:TYPE AVER command
(for the specified trace), sets the trace type to Trace Average and causes the average to be restarted.
When in Trace Average, if a measurement-related instrument setting is changed, the average restarts
and a new sweep is initiated but the trace is not cleared.
Restarting the average means:
