Abstract
Measurements are obtained of a signal within each one of multiple ranges of a parameter. For each range a representative measurement value is derived together with the extent of the range. A respective graphical display element is defined for each range of the parameter, a first dimension of each display element (such as its height) being indicative of the representative measurement value for the respective range of the parameter, and a second dimension of the display element (such as its width) being indicative of the extent of that respective range of the parameter. A display of the measured signal throughout the multiple ranges of the parameter is generated, with the graphical display elements superimposed at positions corresponding to the respective ranges of the parameter.
