Waveform averaging can be a useful method to decrease noise in a particular signal.
The SIGLENT SDS series of oscilloscopes can easily collect average waveform data using EasyScope X software.
NOTE: At this time, average waveform data is not able to be saved in CSV format via the front panel USB connection to a USB memory stick.
Initial Setup
