Definition:

The value of the rightmost of the two most populated peaks in a histogram. This parameter is
useful for waveforms with two primary parameter values, such as TTL voltages, where htop
would indicate the binary `1' voltage value.

Description: The two highest histogram peaks are determined. The rightmost of the two identified peaks is

then selected. The center of that peak is htop (center is the horizontal point where the population
