Using Correlation Scanner

The Correlation tab in the KS6800A PathWave Measurement Analytics software is used to scan for correlation between fields in a dataset. The KS6800A software measures how the values among fields are related by indicating whether the correlation type is positive, negative, or both. Performing Correlation analysis helps you make stronger predictions regarding any future enhancements to be made to your product by studying the relationship between its measurement data. The fields with the data type integer or float are scanned using this feature.

The Correlation Scanner displays a timestamp in the Last Run entry whenever you perform a scan. By default, this entry is blank.
