Setting Up a Histogram
You can display either a vertical (voltage) or horizontal (time) histogram. Use histogram measurements to get
statistical measurement data for a section of a waveform along one axis. Histograms are not available in
FastFrame mode.
1. Click and drag across the seg-

want the histogram to cover. For
a horizontal histogram, for exam-
ple, it is best to make the box
wider than it is tall.
2. Select H istogram Vertical or His-
togram Horizontal from the
shortcut menu.
