AVERAGES
Sets the number of measurements to be averaged.
MAX HOLD
Sets the displayed measurement to show the maximum measured power when enabled, and places a marker on the scale at the maximum measured value. Note that changing any parameter resets this feature. If averaging is selected (AVERAGES > 1), then Max Hold displays the maximum value of non-averaged data.
MEAS MODE
Sets the measurement to Continuous or Single mode. Continuous will cycle through the average count continuously. Single will cycle through the average count just once and then switch to Hold mode. Single measurements must be triggered each time by using the Single button below.
RUN/HOLD
Sets the current measurement to Run or Hold. In Run mode, the power meter takes measurements according to the MEAS MODE setting. In Hold mode, the power meter finished the current measurement and then stops measuring.
SINGLE
Triggers a measurement when the MEAS MODE is set to Single.
APERTURE
Aperture is defined as the total time the power sensor observes the input signal in order to complete one power measurement. This tile applies to MA24108/MA24118/MA24126A models only.
APERTURE MODE
Sets the aperture mode to low aperture time (LAT) or high aperture time (HAT). The time aperture setting defines a time window that has a similar effect to averaging on power measurements when testing noisy signals. This tile applies to MA24106A power sensor models only.
SENSOR INFO
Displays details of the power sensor connected to the analyzer.
