More Information
When in Single, the sweep stops when N is reached. You can add more sweeps by increasing the
Average/Hold Number. For example, if you want to add one more Average, or one more trace to
Max Hold or Min Hold, simply increment this number by one, which you can do by pressing the
Up key while Average/Hold Number is the active function.
In Cont (continuous), averaging and holding continues even after N is reached. Therefore, using
doing trace holding in Cont, the value of N is irrelevant. But for averaging, each new sweep is
exponentially averaged in with a weighting equal to N.
For details of how the average trace is calculated and how this depends on the Average/Hold
Number
, see "Average Type" on page 789 , below. For details on how the various control functions
in the instrument start and restart averaging, see "Average Type" on page 789 .
The Average/Hold Number is not affected by Auto Couple.
AVER:CLE command
The AVER:CLE command (below) resets the average/hold count and does an INIT:IMM, which
begins another set of sweeps when trigger conditions are satisfied. It only does this if an active
trace is in Average or Hold type.
Remote Command [:SENSe]:AVERage:CLEar
Example AVER:COUN 100
AVER:CLE sets the current count (k and K) to 1 and restarts the averaging process.
Notes When the instrument receives this command it performs an INIT:IMM, if and only if there is an
active trace in Max Hold, Min Hold, or Average type.

Average Type
Lets you control the way averaging is done by choosing one of the following averaging scales: log-
power (video), power (RMS), or voltage averaging. Also lets you choose Auto Average Type
(default).
When performing Trace Averaging, , the equation that is used to calculate the averaged trace
depends on the average type. See the descriptions for the keys which select each Average Type
(
"Log-Pwr Avg (Video)" on page 791 , "Pwr Avg (RMS)" on page 792 , or "Voltage Avg" on page 793 )
for details on these equations.
See "More Information" on page 790 .
