Statistical Measurement Results

Last Updated: August 29, 2007

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 remote interface 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

' Set an RF Channel count of 15, and turns the multi-measurement count state on.

TestSet.WriteString("SETup:RFCHannel:COUNt 15")
