Leave the fifth parameter set to zero to select a
standard histogram. This will result in a compile
message “Warning: zero is an invalid inloc
address, Line: xx”. In this case the address of
zero is acceptable and the warning can be
ignored. If a weighted value (WV) histogram is
done, an input location is specified as usual.
Instruction 23 Burst measurement
This instruction makes a series of high speed
measurements. These measurements are sent
out the serial port or stored in input locations.

EDLOG does not detect when results are stored
in input locations. It does not allocate or name
input locations. This should be done with the
Block command and the Manual flag in the
Input Location Editor. If results are set to be
sent to the serial I/O port and no Location is
specified for parameter 10, a “ Warning: zero is
an invalid inloc address, Line: xx” warning will
occur. This warning can be ignored.
Instruction 80 Set Active Storage Area
The second parameter of Instruction 80
specifies an Array ID or an Input Location. If
parameter one is set to 1 or 2, then an Array ID
is expected and the cursor will move by default
to the numeric field. If parameter one is set to
3, then an Input Location is expected and the
cursor will move to the label field by default and
the numeric field will display the address of the
Input Location.
EDLOG does detect when results are stored
back in input locations. It does not allocate or
name input locations based on the instructions
that follow Instruction 80. This should be done
with the Block command and the Manual flag in
the Input Location Editor.

Instruction 81 Rainflow Histogram
This instruction will store results in Input
locations or Final Storage. Thus this instruction
can be an Output Processing or a Processing
instruction. Parameter 10 is used to specify
which mode will be used. If an Input Location is
specified, results will be stored starting at the
specified location. In either mode, output
occurs when the Output Flag is set. Set the
Input Location address to 0 to store results
directly in Final Storage. This will result in a
“Warning: zero is an invalid inloc address,
Line: xx” warning which can be ignored.

Loc [ _________ ]
EDLOG does not detect when results are stored
in input locations. It does not allocate or name
input locations other than the location specified
in parameter 10. This should be done with the
Block command and the Manual flag in the
Input Location Editor.
