Selecting Measurements on Histogram Charts
You may directly select one or more measurement element on a Histogram chart and also one or more property elements on a Pareto chart. Since Pareto charts are characteristically similar to Histogram charts, the property data is selected in the same manner as Histogram charts.
- To select a specific measurement on a Histogram chart, click the corresponding bar chart.
The selected bar turns red to indicate that certain measurements (range indicated on top) have been selected.
- To select more than one measurement on a specific chart, drag the mouse cursor across the items you wish to select.
- All such bars that are found in the vicinity of the drag-box are selected.
- Even though you cannot select one or more measurements directly on the Box-and-Whisker, Scatter and Line charts; the KS6800A PathWave Measurement Analytics software relays the selected measurements on to the associated Pareto (for measurements), Box-and-Whisker, Scatter and Line charts. With the Histogram items selected, use the CONFIGURE CHART option to plot the associated charts to see the impact of selection on the characteristics of each chart.
For example, the corresponding Box-and-Whisker and Line charts (with the property field Error Code on X-axis) for the Histogram chart with multiple selections will be plotted as shown below:
- If you add more charts using the ADD PLOT feature, to the same instance where the items on a chart are selected, the Histogram and the Pareto (for property fields) charts display the impact of the plotted data because of the originally selected values.
With selections performed on one or more plotted charts, the KS6800A software opens several more avenues for data analysis, such as Filtering, Explanations and so on, to further analyze the data. Such actions are described in further sections of this help file.
