Abstract
A test and measurement device has a port to receive a signal from a device under test (DUT), one or more analog-to-digital converters (ADC) to digitize the signal to create one or more waveforms, a display, and one or more processors configured to execute code that causes the one or more processors to: generate a histogram from the waveform, the histogram having one or more dimensions; and calculate one or more entropy values for each of the one or more dimensions. A method includes receiving a signal from a device under test (DUT) at a test and measurement device, digitizing the signal using one or more analog-to-digital converters (ADC) to produce a waveform, generating a histogram from the waveform, the histogram having one or more dimensions, and calculating one or more entropy values for each of the one or more dimensions.
