Abstract
A method for indicating measured value data of a measuring instrument, in which the measured value data of a workpiece to be measured is measured by a measuring instrument, such as slide calipers and the data indicated histogrammatically. There are present divided sections obtained by evenly dividing a set range of a measured value by a divisor, judging which divided section each of the measured value data, which has been successively taken in, belongs to, and storing the frequencies of measurement of the measured value data. The frequencies of measurement thus stored are divided by a predetermined weight coefficient to obtain a quotient, and the aforesaid divided sections are printed histogrammatically as marks representing minimum integers larger in value than the quotient, with the maximum value of variability having a value suitable for being received in the maximum indication places, so that the mean value, variability and the like of the measured values can be readily recognized.
