Proper determination of the top and base reference lines is fundamental for ensuring correct parameter
calculations. The analysis begins by computing a histogram of the waveform data over the time interval spanned
by the left and right time cursors. For example, the histogram of a waveform transitioning in two states will contain
two peaks (see Figure 1). The analysis will attempt to identify the two clusters that contain the largest data
density. Then the most probable state (centroids) associated with these two clusters will be computed to
determine the top and base reference levels: the top line corresponds to the top and the base line to the bottom
centroid.
