Statistical Measurement Results

Last updated: January 16, 2009

Description

Most measurements have a setup window that provides for the entry of a multi-measurement count value. This specifies how many measurements the test set will perform to obtain a set of values from which to calculate the following statistical measurement results:

Average (arithmetic mean) of measurement set
Minimum value from measurement set
Maximum value from measurement set
Standard Deviation of measurement set

Operating Considerations

The advantages of using the multi-measurement feature to obtain statistical measurement data include: reduced time associated with GPIB bus traffic, and reduced time configuring hardware. This is because the number of measurements specified in the multi-measurement count value are performed during one measurement cycle.

Programming Example

OUTPUT 714;"SETUP:WACLeakage:COUNt 10" !Enters an Adjacent Channel
!Leakage Ratio (ACLR) count of 10, and turns the multi-measurement
!count state on.
