Then the System Builds a Histogram

Then the System Builds a Histogram
Once a data record is available, the measurement process builds a histogram
of the distribution of the internal voltage levels as shown in figure 13-4. The
histogram does not represent the full resolution of the data, however, as this
would result in a very large histogram array. The oscilloscope uses the
histogram to determine the statistical maximum (top) and minimum (base)
of the data record.
