[:SENSe[1]]:<function>:AVERage:COUNt? MAXimum
The measurement function to which this setting applies:
• Current: CURRent[:DC]
• Resistance: RESistance
• Voltage:
The number of readings required for each filtered measurement (1 to 100)
Details
The filter count is the number of readings that are acquired and stored in the filter stack for the averaging
calculation. The larger the filter count, the more filtering that is performed.
If you send this command without the <function> parameter, it sets the filter count for all functions.
Example 1
CURR:AVER:TCON MOV
CURR:AVER ON
For current measurements, set the averaging
filter type to moving average, with a filter count of
10.
Enable the averaging filter.
Example 2
RES:AVER:TCON MOV
RES:AVER ON
For resistance measurements, set the averaging
filter type to moving average, with a filter count of
10.
Enable the averaging filter.
Example 3
VOLT:AVER:TCON MOV
VOLT:AVER ON
For voltage measurements, set the averaging
filter type to moving average, with a filter count of
10.
Enable the averaging filter.
