Analysis and Processing of Result
Calculating the mean value, standard deviation, and peak-to-peak of the
trace
Calculating the mean value, standard deviation, and
peak-to-peak of the trace
A function is provided to automatically calculate the statistics (mean value, standard
deviation, and peak-to-peak value) of the trace data and display them. If the partial search
function is on, statistics are calculated for the specified search range. For more information
about the partial search function, refer to “Specify partial search range” on page 267.
Step 1. Activate the trace whose statistics you want to obtain.
Step 2. Press the
[Utility]
key to display the Utility menu.
Step 3. Press the
STATISTICS on OFF
key to turn on the statistics display.
On the screen, “mean” indicates the mean value, “s.dev” the standard deviation, and “p-p”
the peak-to-peak (difference between the maximum and the minimum of the measurement
parameter value) of the trace.
