Displaying a Histogram

Histograms are useful to analyze the occurrence of measurement values statistically.

The usage of histograms is also shown in a short video that is available on the instru-
ment: "File" menu > "Tutorials" > "Histogram".

1. Tap the "Histogram" icon on the toolbar.

2. Tap the diagram in which you want to generate the histogram.

A vertical histogram is defined and displayed.
