Sets up the Start and Stop frequencies and voltages when Source
is set to V/GHz. This tells the ML2430A how to determine the fre-
quency of the swept signal based on the applied rear panel voltage.

Averaging

Sensor data averaging. The available soft keys depend upon the operating mode
selected.

In Readout and Power vs. Time modes, the following soft keys appear:

SENSOR

Model ML2438A (dual channel) only. Select sensor A or B, in Power
vs. Time or Readout modes.

MODE
[AVG
AVGM]

Select OFF, AUTO, MOVING or REPEAT, in Power vs. Time or
Readout modes.

AUTOMATIC averaging uses a MOVING type of average and in-
creases the amount of averaging as the noise level increases. The
display updates at approximately 100 ms intervals, however the
data is available at the full rate. The display is slowed down to pre-
vent jitter and allow the user to follow the update.

MOVING average allows the user to manually select the amount of
averaging regardless of the signal level. The display is continually
updated while averaging.

When selected, the following soft key becomes available:

NUMBER
[AVG
AVGM]

Sweep averaging number (1 to 512).

tling at low power levels
(e.g.,signal sources).
