Parameter This is the instrument-specific parameter to sample. The list of parameters differs
from instrument to instrument, and even from one instrument firmware version to
another.
Sample Mode This is the mode to sample the parameter with. Choices are AVG (average), INST
(instantaneous), MIN (minimum), or MAX (maximum), SDEV (standard deviation).
Precision This is the numeric precision to use when displaying a parameter value (range 0-4).
It is used to display the parameter values in the menus and in the RS-232 reports. It
is used by APIcom when viewing and saving downloaded data.
Store number of
samples in average

right-click on a parameter and select Duplicate Parameter from the context menu. APIcom will create a
new parameter of the same type and add it to the end of the channel’s parameter list. The parameter

using the MIN, AVG, and MAX sampling modes.
4.5.7. Deleting a Parameter
