A method of analyzing a signal is described. The method includes: setting a trigger condition to be applied; applying the trigger condition; acquiring at least two acquisitions associated with the input signal, each acquisition including a trigger event that matches the trigger condition set; determining a trigger time for each trigger event; storing a time stamp with each trigger event; and generating a histogram based on the time stamps stored, the histogram providing number of trigger events versus time. Further, a signal analysis device for analyzing a signal is described.

A test and measurement instrument, including a memory configured to store a waveform data record; one or more processors, and a display. The one or more processors are configured to receive the waveform data record, determine a measurement value and location for a plurality of occurrences of a measurement event in the waveform data record, detect one or more logical path segments in the plurality of occurrences, and generating a visual representation of each measurement value and overlaying each of the visual representations of each measurement value. The visual representations of each measurement value and/or the one or more logical path segments may be displayed on the display.
