Where:

- Pmin is based on a 1e-2 hit ratio, where Pmin is the largest power level that results in the number of samples below that level not exceeding the product of hit ratio and total number of observed samples. All samples are acquired in a single unit interval eye diagram.

The hit ratio's default setting is 1e-2 and is based on the IEEE 802.3cu standard. However, after selecting the measurement you can change this ratio if needed.
