Average Mode

Choose Avg in order for the displayed power measurement to be averaged
or not. When the average mode is enabled, the eight most recent
measurement samples are used to compute an unweighted average. This
average is displayed as the measured value. Avg is also displayed in the
upper right corner, indicating that the average mode is enabled.

Storing Data Manually
