8.2.1 Measurement setup in general
Up to 8 measurement groups can be defined. Each measurement group is configured
in its own subtab. For each measurement group, the category and the source are
defined in the "Setup"
tab, and you can also enable statistic evaluation. Available sour-
ces and measurements depend on the selected category, for example, histogram mea-
surements need a defined histogram as source. For each measurement group, you
select all required measurements. If further settings are available for a measurement, a
settings icon is shown beside the measurement's name.
