Chapter 4 Command Reference
[:SENSe] Subsystem
[:SENSe] Subsystem
The [:SENSe] subsystem commands are divided into several sections.
Each section, or subtree, deals with controls that directly affect
instrument-specific settings and not those related to the signal-oriented
characteristics.
[:SENSe]:AVERage[STATe] . . . <Boolean>
COMMAND
Turns averaging ON and OFF. When averaging is ON, each new valid
measurement result is the average of the number of measurements
specified in the AVERage:COUNt command.
• An ABORt command interrupts the averaging and prevents a valid
COMMENTS
measurement result.
• Averaging cannot be turned ON when the value of AVERage:COUNt
is one. Attempting to turn averaging ON when AVERage:COUNt=1
causes an error.

[:SENSe]:AVERage:COUNt . . . <numeric_value>
COMMAND
Specifies the number of measurements to combine when AVERage:STATe
is ON.
The acceptable range for the <numeric_value> parameter is 1 to 99.
RANGE
When averaging is ON, some devices may automatically set :COUNt
COMMENT
values in the TRIGger subsystem based on the AVERage:COUNt value.
This is done to ensure that the TRIGger subsystem provides enough
triggers for the average.
