NAME

histobins - histogram bins utility for scripts/hal-histogram

SYNOPSIS

Usage:
Read availablebins pin for the number of bins available.
Set the minvalue, binsize, and nbins pins.
Ensure nbins <= availablebins
For nbins = N, the bins are numbered: 0 ... N-1
Iterate:
Set index pin to a bin number: 0 <= index < nbins.
Read check pin and verify that check pin == index pin.
Read outputs: binvalue, pextra, nextra pins.
(binvalue is count for the indexed bin)
(pextra is count for all inputs > maxvalue)
(nextra is count for all bins < minvalue)

If index is out of range (index < 0 or index > maxbinnumber)
then binvalue == -1.
The input-error pin is set when input rules are violated
and updates cease.
The reset pin may be used to restart.
The input used is selected based on pintype:
pintype inputpin
------- -----------
0 input
1 input-s32
2 input-u32
3 input-bit
Additional output statistics pins:
input-min
input-max
nsamples
variance
mean
The method input pin selects an alternate variance calculation.

Maintainers note: hardcoded for MAXBINNUMBER==200
