To View Thumbnail Histograms

Histicons are miniature histograms of parameter measurements that appear below the grid. These
thumbnail histograms let you see at a glance the statistical distribution of each parameter.
1. In the menu bar, touch Measure, then one of the Measure Mode buttons: Std Vertical, Std
Horizontal, or My Measure.
2. Touch the Histicons checkbox to display thumbnail histograms below the selected
parameters.
Note: For measurements set up in My Measure, you can quickly display an enlarged histogram of a thumbnail histogram by
touching the Histicon you want to enlarge. The enlarged histogram will appear superimposed on the trace it describes. This
does not apply to "Std Vertical" or "Std Horizontal" measurements.

Persistence Histogram

You can create a histogram of a persistence display also by cutting a horizontal or vertical slice
through the waveform. You also decide the width of the slice and its horizontal or vertical placement
on the waveform.
This math operation is different than the "Histogram" math operation and is not affected by Center
and Width settings made there.
To Set Up Persistence Histograms
