Trace Averaging
Averaging is a digital process in which each trace
point is averaged with the previous average for the
same trace point.
Selecting averaging, when the analyzer is auto
coupled, changes the detection mode to sample,
smoothing the displayed noise level.
1 Refer to the first procedure
“Reducing Input
Attenuation" on page 49 , and follow steps 1, 2
and 3.
2 Press [TRACE] > {Average} (On) to turn average on.
3 Press 50 > [ENTER] to set the average number to
50.
As the averaging routine smooths the trace, low
level signals become more visible.

This is a trace processing function and is not the same as
using the average detector (as described on page 52 ).
