AVGLL

Auto low level averaging

SENSOR

Syntax:

AVGLL <s>,<mode>

s:

A or B

mode:

OFF
LOW
MEDIUM
HIGH

Remarks:

Sets the low level averaging window for the sensor. At resolution settings
of 0.01 and 0.001dB, digital readouts may flicker due to the high reading
rate of the ML2430A Series. Low level averaging applies a low pass filter to
post-average data readings to achieve a more stable front panel display
without slowing down the response of the meter to larger changes in level.
The three windows for LOW, MEDIUM and HIGH low level averaging are
± 0.01, 0.02, and 0.05 dB.

For example: When a LOW setting of low level averaging is applied while
stepping from 0 dBm to –1 dBm, the meter displays the final reading within
0.01dB with no delay. The final settling of 0.01dB will settle over a short
subsequent period of time, leading to a stable high resolution readout.

With a HIGH setting of low level averaging, the settling window is in-
creased (up to approximately 0.05 dB) and the settling time is longer.

With low level averaging OFF, the meter displays the final reading instantly
with no further settling observed. Any jitter due to noise is reflected in the
displayed reading, which may be inconvenient for high resolution readings.

AVGM

Manual Averaging

SENSOR

Syntax:

AVGM <s>

s:

A or B

Remarks:

Changes the averaging of the sensor to 'Moving' averaging mode from
'Auto' Averaging. The average number is set to the same value that the
'Auto' averaging mode was using internally. If the sensor is not presently in
auto averaging mode, this command is ignored.
