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>:MEASure<mnum>:SMOothing:APERture <num>

Applicable Models: E5080A, M9485A

(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.
<mnum>	Measurement number for each measurement. There must be a selected measurement on the trace. If unspecified, <mnum> is set to 1.
<num>	Percentage value. Choose any number between: 1 and 25
Examples	CALC:MEAS:SMO:APER 2 calculate2:measure2:smoothing:aperture 20.7
Query Syntax	CALCulate<cnum>:SMOothing:APERture?
Return Type	Numeric
Default	1.5

CALCulate<cnum>:MEASure<mnum>:SMOothing:POINts <num>

Applicable Models: E5080A, M9485A

(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.
<mnum>	Measurement number for each measurement. There must be a selected measurement on the trace. If unspecified, <mnum> 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:MEAS:SMO:POIN 50 calculate2:measure2:smoothing:points 21
Query Syntax	CALCulate<cnum>:MEAsure<mnum>:SMOothing:POINts?
Return Type	Numeric
Default	3

CALCulate<cnum>:MEASure<mnum>:SMOothing[:STATe] <bool>

Applicable Models: E5080A, M9485A

(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.
<mnum>	Measurement number for each measurement. There must be a selected measurement on the trace. If unspecified, <mnum> is set to 1.
<bool>	ON or 1 - Turns smoothing ON. OFF or 0 - Turns smoothing OFF.
Examples	CALC:MEAS:SMO ON calculate2:measure2:smoothing:state off
Query Syntax	CALCulate<cnum>:MEASure<mnum>:SMOothing[:STATe]
Return Type	Boolean (1 = ON, 0 = OFF)
Default	OFF
