MEASUREMENT 
57 
The maximum value observed 
from a series of measured results 
for the selected automatic 
measurement items. 
The variance of the currently 
measured value from the mean. 
The standard deviation equals the 
squared root of the variance value. 
Measuring the standard deviation 
can, for example, determine the 
severity of jitter in a signal.  
The number of samples used to 
determine the standard deviation 
can be user-defined. 
1.  Press the Measure key. 
2.  Select at least one automatic 
measurement. 
3.  Press Statistics from the bottom 
menu. 
4.  Set the number of samples to be 
used in the mean and standard 
deviation calculations. 
5.  Press Statistics and turn Statistics 
on. 
6.  The statistics for each automatic measurement 
will appear at the bottom of the display in a 
table.
