Setting the Averaging Trigger Function
The averaging trigger function is used to execute the sweep the number of times specified
by the averaging factor with a single trigger when the sweep averaging function is ON.
The averaging factor is cleared before the start of measurement.
NOTE When the point trigger function is on, its setting has priority, and you need to generate
triggers based on “(number of measurement points)×(averaging factor)”.
When the sweep averaging function is off, sweep is performed only once even if the
averaging trigger function is set to on.
The averaging trigger function is valid for all channels.Note that you can set the sweep
averaging function for each channel.
