RF:DETECTionmethod:RF_AVErage?
Related Commands
RF:DETECTionmethod:MODe,
RF:DETECTionmethod:RF_MAXHold,
RF:DETECTionmethod:RF_MINHold,
RF:DETECTionmethod:RF_NORMal
Arguments
PLUSpeak — Detection method that selects the largest value in each interval.
MINUSpeak — Detection method that selects the smallest value in each interval.
SAMple — Detection method that selects the first point in each interval.
AVErage — Detection method that selects the mean value within an interval.
Examples
RF:DETECTionmethod:RF_AVErage SAM sets the detection method to sample.
RF:DETECTionmethod:RF_AVE? might return MINUSPEAK, indicating the
detection method has been set to select the smallest value in each waveform
interval.
RF:DETECTionmethod:RF_MAXHold
This command specifies the detection method the oscilloscope should use when
acquiring an RF Max Hold frequency domain trace. The Max Hold trace displays
the largest value in all acquisition history at each trace point.
In order to change the detection method, you must first change the detection
method mode to
MANUAL using the command RF:DETECTionmethod:MODe.
The detection method is the internal calculation that decimates (reduces)a
long frequency domain waveform down to display resolution, by dividing the
waveform into intervals and choosing a single value to represent each interval
on screen.
