Histogram measurements
Measurement Description
Waveform
Count
Displays the number of waveforms that contributed to the histogram.
Hits in Box
Displays the
number of samples within the histogram box or on its boundaries.
Peak Hits
Displays the
number of samples in the bin that contains the most hits.
Median
Displays th
e middle histogram data value, where half of all histogram data points are
less than this value and half are greater than this value.
Peak-to-p
eak
Displays the peak-to-peak value of the histogram. Vertical histograms display the voltage
of the highest nonzero bin minus the voltage of the lowest nonzero bin. Horizontal
histogram
s display the time of the right-most nonzero bin minus the time of the left-most
nonzero bin.
Histogra
mMax
Displays the voltage of the highest nonzero bin in vertical histograms or the time of the
right most nonzero bin in horizontal histograms.
Histogram Min
Displays the voltage of the lowest nonzero bin in vertical histograms or the time of the left
most non
zero bin in horizontal histograms.
Histogram
Mean
Measur
es the average of all histogram data points within or on the histogram box.
Standa
rd
Deviation
Measur
es the standard deviation (Root Mean Square (RMS) deviation) of all histogram
data points within o r on the histogram box.
Sigma1 Displays the percentage of the hits in the histogram that are within one standard deviation
of the histogram mean.
Sigma2 Displays the percentage of the hits in the histogram that are within two standard
devi
ations of the histogram mean.
Sig
ma3
Dis
plays the percentage of the hits i n the histogram that are within three standard
deviations of the histogram mean.
Cus
tomizing an Automatic Measurement in the Time Domain
You can customize automatic measurements by using gating, modifying measurement statistics, adjusting the measurement
reference levels, or taking a snapshot.
Gating
Gating confines the measurement to a certain portion of a waveform. To use:
