 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 MHz
) 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).
