  • Page 157: Description Of Averaging Functions

    The averaging process The SRM-3006 simplifies the measurement by automatically averaging the values measured at different points in the room. The SRM-3006 determines the root mean square value (RMS), i.e. the average power level. For this reason it is a good idea to set the detector function in Level Recorder mode to RMS, although the PEAK setting is also available.

  • Page 158: Continuous

    Intermediate and final results can be saved at any time by pressing the SAVE key. The SRM-3006 averages all the measured values recorded between “Start” and “Pause” or “Continue” and “Clear”, regardless of when the measurement was started or resumed. If several parallel paths are to be traversed with the antenna, for example, you should try to keep the speed of movement the same.

  • Page 159: Discrete

    Each time you press the key, the SRM-3006 performs just one measurement, confirms this with a beep, and increments the value of “No. of SAVG” by one. The SRM-3006 averages all the measured values obtained in this way. The order in which you measure the various points in the room therefore does not matter if the field is constant over time.

  • Page 160: Discrete Axis

    Discrete Axis allows you to determine the average value using a single axis antenna. Three measurements will then need to be performed at every measurement point within the room. The SRM-3006 calculates the isotropic result for each measurement point and averages the isotropic results of all measurement points.

    The Result Type selection box opens.
