Figure 47 Statistics screen
When in Fixed mode the Statistics engine calculates the minimum (Min),
maximum (Max), Range, Mean, Standard Deviation (Std. Dev.) for a
fixed number of samples and displays them in the right column.
The number of samples is displayed in the left column on the Samples
line. As Figure 47 shows, the number of samples is 10000 with a time
interval between samples of 100 µs. This means that the statistics values
are calculated over 1 second interval.
If the Mode is Fixed, at the end of the 10000 samples, the statistics values
are cleared and the calculation starts again with the next measurement.
The user can change the Mode with the Navigation keys. When the Enter
key is pressed a drop-down menu allows the user to select Fixed or
Continuous Mode. By using the Up and Down navigation keys followed by
Enter, the user can change the Mode to Continuous.
In Continuous mode, the unit does not disable data collection when the
number of samples specified is collected. Instead, it continues to collect
