## Command Syntax

    :HISTogramN:AXIS  {LEFT | RIGHt | BOTTom | TOP}

Where N identifies one of four possible histograms {1:4} that you can design. For example, `:HISTogram3`.

## Query Syntax

    :HISTogramN:AXIS?

## Description

Selects the orientation of the histogram. Select `LEFT` or `RIGHt` for vertical histograms (voltage or power measurements). Select `TOP` or `BOTTom` for horizontal histograms (timing measurements). Histograms are displayed as a series of lines (vertical or horizontal). The length of each line represents the number of hits of data on that row (or column) of the display. In vertical histograms with `LEFT` placement, zero hits correspond to the left edge of the graticule. In horizontal histograms with `BOTTom` placement, zero hits correspond to the bottom edge of the graticule.

To set the X-axis size of vertical histograms, use the `:HISTogram:VSIZe` command. To set the Y-axis size of horizontal histograms, use the `:HISTogram:HSIZe` command.

Vertical Histogram (LEFT)

Horizontal Histogram (BOTTom)
