Note that this value represents the last measurement of the input signal rounded to
eleven digits. The Counter uses it as the reference offset value, and reverses the sign
from + to − .

−12* µ (120 µs) is displayed, for example, at the completion of the next measurement.
This value (−0.00012) is the small difference between the signal being measured and
the reference value (OFFS: −10.00000 M) obtained in step 5.
Using the reference allows you to observe small differences in the
13th–15th digits which would not be observable in the 12-digit display.
Overview of Statistics (Stats) Menu
The Stats menu allows you to:
• select which computed statistics you want displayed
(SHOW: STD DEV, MEAN, MAX, or MIN).
• choose between having the actual measurement or statistical result displayed
(SHOW: MEAS).
• select the number of measurements you want to make for each computed statistic
(N:).
• enable or disable the Stats mode (STATS: ON or OFF).
• enable the Counter to perform statistical computation on only measurements that
are within the user-entered limits; that is, filter data (USE: IN LIMIT), or
• enable the Counter to perform statistical computation on all measurements,
whether they fall in or out of the user-entered limits (USE: ALL MEAS).
• configure Stop/Single key to initiate a set of N measurements (ON SINGLE: 1
or N).
