Abstract
An apparatus for measuring a parameter of a digitized signal including a digitizer to digitize an input signal into a digitized signal, a rasterizer to generate a raster image from the digitized input signal, a processor to receive the raster image, and a control interface to receive an input control signal indicating a request for a measurement. The rasterizer is responsive to the control signal to generate the raster image from the digitized input signal, and the processor is responsive to the control signal to generate a histogram from the raster image.
