ed
Definition:
The count (vertical value) of the highest population bin in a histogram.
Each bin between the parameter cursors is examined for its count. The highest count is return
as maxp.
Description:
Example:
Here, maxp is 14.
histmode HistogramMode
Definition:
The value of the highest population bin in a histogram.
Description:
Each bin between the parameter cursors is examined for its population count. The leftmost bin
with the highest count found is selected. Its center value is returned as mode.
Example:
Here, mode is 150 mV.
histrange HistogramRange
omputes the difference between the value of the rightmost and that of the leftmost populated
bin.
Description:
The rightmost and leftmost populated bins are identified. The difference in value between the two
is returned as the range.
Example:
Definition:
C
In this example, range is 2 mV.
