Histogram
Syntax
HIStogram:TYPE {LINEAr | LOG}
HIStogram:TYPE?
Arguments
LINEAr specifies that bin counts smaller than the maximum should be scaled
linearly by dividing the bin count by the maximum bin count.
LOG specifies that bin counts smaller than the maximum should be scaled
logarithmically (log (bin-count)) with log(0) staying at 0 (baseline). The
base of the log does not matter since logs to different bases differ only by a
constant multiplier. Logarithmic scaling provides better visual detail for bins
with low counts.
Examples
HISTOGRAM:TYPE LINEAR displays the count in each bin scaled linearly.
HISTOGRAM:TYPE? might return HISTOGRAM:TYPE LINEAR, indicating that
the histogram display is scaled linearly.
HIStogram:WFMDB:STATE
This command sets or queries whether the histogram counting is made on a
waveform database created on the source of the histogram. This is equivalent to
selecting or clearing the Use Wfm Database check box in the Source sec tion of
the Histogram Setup dialog box.
