Histogram View
This view shows a histogram of rising and falling data edge times relative to the recovered clock. It
allows you to see if there is a difference in the distributions of rising and falling edges. For example, the
rising edges could have a bimodal distribution while falling could be single mode.
Eye Diagram View
This view shows an eye diagram. Timing measurements are summarized to the left.
