Puls, Pulsewidth -, Duty Cycle, and Frequency Counter.
The Statistics tool is valuable in that it is the only tool to show Duty Cycle and Frequency
Counter information. Additionally, it shows the basic statistics of histograms of all
measurements of , Period -, PW +, PW-. It is important to remember, though,
that while the raw statistics may convey some information, the plot views convey so
much more. Before accepting any values from this tool “as is” you should also perform at
least a histogram analysis of the measurement and understand the graphical results.
