Using Normal Scanner

The Normal tab in the KS6800A PathWave Measurement Analytics software is used to scan for and display fields that appear to be normally distributed. The KS6800A software runs the scanner to identify measurement fields in a dataset that are symmetrically distributed, where most of the measurements are clustered around the central peak and the probabilities for values, which are further away from the mean, and taper off equally in both directions. The fields with the data type integer or float are scanned using this feature.

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

  1. Click so that the KS6800A software scans for measurement fields that may appear to have a normal distribution.
The results from the scan appear in the Possible Normal Characteristics area. For further description, see Displaying Possible Normal Characteristics.
