We have a stand with a PXIe-5172 scope in it. We're trying to do a Vp-p measurement of a fairly noisy, 40Hz AC signal. Using the NI-SCOPE front panel, we can set the acquisition to "Average," which gives us a nicely cleaned up signal, especially after we set the max. frequency to 80Hz or less, to stabilize the triggering.
We're running in TestStand, with LabView VIs to interface to the hardware. We can set the max. frequency without any problem, but we haven't found a Scope VI that gives us a way to turn on the Averaging sampling type.
Can anyone point us to the right VI? We have NI-Scope 18.0 installed. I apologize, I don't have the version of LabView at the moment. I believe it's either 2016 or 2017.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

I believe you want one of these...
Probably the first one since you want to clean up the waveform, not get the average voltage measurement

Okay... so using that, it looks like I want to do something like this?
Thanks!

Honestly I have never used it but...
I think that should work
