Selecting the Sampling Type
You can perform different types of samplings with your power meter:
³
Continuous sampling signifies that power measurements are
constantly updated on the measurement display for an unlimited time
period. You can select a rate that will optimize instrument flexibility
and measurement stability as well as determine the quantity of data
generated during data acquisition.
³
User Defined sampling signifies that you can enter the rate and the
time units you wish to use. The value you enter in the 1/ list is the
number of time units the acquisition process will use. For example, if
you enter a value of 10, and select seconds as the unit, an acquisition
will be performed once every ten seconds; if you enter a value of 1 and
select seconds as the unit, an acquisition will occur every second, etc.
