Characteristic Track Trend
captured is limited
by acquisition
memory and
sampling rate. acquisitions, and since the
oscilloscope takes time to
calculate measurement values
and to display data before the
trigger is re-armed, data can be
missed.
In general, Track is the tool to use if you want to capture a continuous
stream of data spaced closely together.
To understand the change in a parameter with time, Trend can be used if
your data is spaced widely apart and longer than the dead-time of the
oscilloscope between acquisitions. Think of Trend as a strip chart recorder
for your oscilloscope.
Creating and Viewing a Histogram
Histograms are graphical representations of data which divides it into
intervals or bins. These intervals/bins are plotted on a bar chart such that
the bar height relates to the number of data points inside each interval/bin.
Various histograms can be setup using Measure or Math dialogs.
Thumbnail versions of Histograms are called Histicons. Also, Persistence
can be applied to Histograms.
PLEASE NOTE THE FOLLOWING:
1. The number of sweeps comprising the histogram is shown on the
trace descriptor label.
2. The range of a histogram is limited to the portion of the trace that is
visible on screen. That is, if you zoom in on a trace, the histogram
does not contain data for that part of the original (no longer visible)
trace.
