Time-Averaged Measurements

13. To temporarily suspend the time average mode (once

the current measurement interval has been completed

or stopped) and make real time measurements, press

F2 (CLR). To make another time-averaged

measurement under the same conditions, press F1

(START) again.

14. To end time averaging altogether and return to the

standard measurement screen (once the current

measurement interval has been completed or

stopped), press F4 (QUIT). To initiate time averaging

again at a later point, use the menu system to select

TIME AVG from the First Menu Screen.

To temporarily pause during a time averaged

measurement...

1. To temporarily suspend time averaging, press

F3 (PAUSE). The word *PAUSED* will appear on the

fourth line of the display. To resume time averaging

and complete the measurement, press F1 (START).

2. You may continue to pause and start the averaging as

many times as needed. The time interval determined

by the standard and the frequency applies only to the

measurement time (excludes time when "PAUSED").

The PAUSE feature

can be useful when

measuring the aver-

age value from cer-

tain rotating radars.

The effective mea-

surement technique

requires you to

pause during the pe-

riod of time when

you are not in the

beam of the radar.

Continue this tech-

nique for two or

more revolutions

(depending on the

RPM) to obtain a re-

alistic average value

of the field in the

beam at your loca-

tion. For details on

this measurement

technique, see Ra-

dar Measurements

in the Applications

Booklet.
