4. # Scans Averaged - Sets the number of scans over which the elongation

measurements are averaged. The laser extensometer uses a moving window
method of averaging which allows smooth performance. Increasing the
number of scans averaged improves resolution and slows response time
(that is, bandwidth) of the elongation measurement. The choices are as
follows:

2 Scans Averaged

4 Scans Averaged

8 Scans Averaged

16 Scans Averaged

32 Scans Averaged

64 Scans Averaged

128 Scans Averaged

256 Scans Averaged

512 Scans Averaged
