11.1.3.5 Histograms
For histograms, information on the absolute time is not relevant for the results. The information gained is on how long
the signal remained within a particular range (classification).

Calculation of histograms is performed subsequently on the PC. It can be carried out for every channel which was
sampled equidistantly (in contrast to XY-data of the reduced measurement channels).
11.1.4 Memory management
11.1.4.1 Aggregation interval
In normal cases, mean values are formed over 10 minute intervals, which results in a very small data volume. 10-
minute-values can even be kept for a week in the device's internal RAM.
In order to obtain more data on how a quantity changes (especially the upper harmonics), it is also possible to
sample at intervals of whole seconds. It thus becomes possible to observe sudden jumps of an upper harmonic.
Signal voltages even require a 3-second interval. However, such a measurement cannot be sustained for a long time
due to the huge amounts of data which accumulate.

Since the data volume also depends on the amount of disturbance, the actual memory requirements can deviate from
the values indicated above.
The data volume expected is displayed as per the settings in the memory management dialog Memory management
(see System manual).
For an EN50160 measurement over 3 voltage channels (including frequency and symmetry measurement) and an
aggregation interval of 10 min, about 1,2 MByte of data accumulate per week.
