Abstract
Integrated counter-based instrumentation for generating a frequency distribution representation such as a histogram. An integrated circuit device includes an event counter to count a number of a predetermined type of events detected in each of a plurality of measurement periods during a first sub-experiment period. A frequency counter coupled to the event counter is to be incremented at the end of each measurement period if the number counted by the event counter meets a first test. A count stored in the frequency counter is provided to a frequency distribution data store at the end of the first sub-experiment period.
