Oscilloscope Reference Set up a histogram measurement
Waveform count
Displays the number of waveforms that have contributed to the histogram.
Hits in Box
Displays the number of points in or on the histogram box.
Peak Hits
Displays the number of points in the largest bin of the histogram.
Median
The middle point of the histogram box. Half of all acquired points within or on the histogram box are
less than this value and half are greater than this value.
Histogram Max
Displays the voltage of the highest nonzero bin in vertical histograms or the time of the rightmost
nonzero bin in the horizontal histograms.
Histogram Min
Displays the v oltage of the lowest nonzero bin in vertical histograms or the time of the leftmost
nonzero bin in the horizontal histograms.
Pk-Pk
Displays the peak-to-peak value of the histogram.
Vertical histograms display the "voltage" of the highest nonzero bin minus the "voltage" of the
lowest nonzero bin.
Horizontal histograms display the "time" of the rightmost nonzero bin minus the "time" of the
leftmost nonzero bin.
Histogram Mean
Measures the a verage of all acquired points within or on the histogram box.
StdDev (standard deviation)
The standard deviation (Root Mean Square (RMS) deviation) of all acquired points within or on the
histogram box.
