The moku app has a frame averages feature. Is there a python equivalent to this feature that won’t require me pulling data from the moku:pro multiple times and then averaging it myself? So far I’ve just seen the `target_duration` argument of the `set_averaging` which is not what I’m looking for.

Hello @tcgayer ,

Thank you for reaching out to Liquid Instruments! We don’t have a frame averaging equivalent in the APIs yet. However, we do have a prewritten Python and MATLAB example on our [GitHub](https://github.com/liquidinstruments/moku-examples/blob/main/python-api/oscilloscope_averaging.py) that will do the same averaging that is done in the app. We currently only have this for the oscilloscope, but I was able to create an example for the Spectrum Analyzer which can be accessed at this [link](https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1uXYoGTXZtb6EnslPBK3hE-ZbTBmBaQp6?usp=drive_link). I hope this is helpful!
