Calculate:Smoothing Commands

Controls point-to-point smoothing. Smoothing is a noise reduction technique that averages adjacent data points in a measurement trace. Choose the amount of smoothing by specifying either the number of points or the aperture. Smoothing is not the same as CALC:AVERage which averages each data point over a number of sweeps.

CALCulate<cnum>:SMOothing:APERture <num>

(Read-Write) Sets the amount of smoothing as a percentage of the number of data points in the channel. See Critical Note
Parameters
<cnum>	Channel number of the measurement. There must be a selected measurement on that channel. If unspecified, <cnum> is set to 1.
<num>	Percentage value. Choose any number between: 1 and 25
Examples	CALC:SMO:APER 2 calculate2:smoothing:aperture 20.7
Query Syntax	CALCulate<cnum>:SMOothing:APERture?
Return Type	Numeric
Default	1.5

CALCulate<cnum>:SMOothing:POINts <num>

(Read-Write) Sets the number of adjacent data points to average. See Critical Note
Parameters
<cnum>	Channel number of the measurement. There must be a selected measurement on that channel. If unspecified, <cnum> is set to 1.
<num>	Number of points from 1 point to maximum of 25% of data points in the channel. For example: if number of points in a data trace = 401, the maximum value for points = 100. The points value is always rounded to the closest odd number.
Examples	CALC:SMO:POIN 50 calculate2:smoothing:points 21
Query Syntax	CALCulate<cnum>:SMOothing:POINts?
Return Type	Numeric
Default	3

CALCulate<cnum>:SMOothing[:STATe] <ON | OFF>

(Read-Write) Turns data smoothing ON or OFF. See Critical Note
Parameters
<cnum>	Channel number of the measurement. There must be a selected measurement on that channel. If unspecified, <cnum> is set to 1.
<ON \| OFF>	ON (or 1) - turns smoothing ON. OFF (or 0) - turns smoothing OFF.
Examples	CALC:SMO ON calculate2:smoothing:state off
Query Syntax	CALCulate<cnum>:SMOothing[:STATe]?
Return Type	Boolean (1 = ON, 0 = OFF)
Default	OFF
