According to these settings, {{RadiMation}} will perform a minimum of 3 power measurements with a wait time between the measurements of 75ms. If all those 3 measurements are within 0.1 dB, the power measurement is assumed to be stable, and {{RadiMation}} will continue to use that measurement. If the difference between the measurements is larger than the specified 0.1 dB, and additional power measurement will be performed, and the last 3 samples will be compared to the 0.1 dB difference again.

According to these settings, RadiMation® will perform a minimum of 3 power measurements with a wait time between the measurements of 75ms. If all those 3 measurements are within 0.1 dB, the power measurement is assumed to be stable, and RadiMation® will continue to use that measurement. If the difference between the measurements is larger than the specified 0.1 dB, and additional power measurement will be performed, and the last 3 samples will be compared to the 0.1 dB difference again. At most 10 measurements will be performed if the difference between the 3 samples will not be within the specified 0.1 dB.

Both for the leveling, and the monitoring these settings can be set individually. The leveling is used, whenever RadiMation® is measuring the power, to regulate the signal generator. If the powermeter is only used as input, without regulating on it, then the monitoring settings are used.

More detailed information on how to achieve a fast and stable power measurement is available in Application Note 106: Powermeter parameter configuration.
