Average of all the measurements taken. A measure of the distribution of a set of data from its mean. The more spread apart the data, the higher the deviation. Difference between the Maximum and the Minimum. A measure of how much the readings change over time. To view the scan data: 1. Start a scan. See "Start a Scan" on page 4-12. 2.

To refine the data, the graph can be manipulated with the front-panel arrow keys as shown in Figure 4-5. Notes The maximum number of channels that can be graphed at once is four. Selection of two or more channels with different input types (such as temperature and milliamps) can make the graph difficult to read because they do not share the same unit.
