Owning Palette: Process Statistics VIs

Installed With: Statistical Process Control Toolkit

Given the bin centers from a histogram (axis values output from the General Histogram VI), the estimated sigma of the observations for the histogram, and the total number of observations in the histogram, calculates the height for a normal probability distribution function (PDF) that fits the histogram.

	bin centers is the x-axis values for the center of each histogram bin. Connect the x values output of the histogram VI to this input.
	sigma is the estimated sigma of the observations from which the histogram was created. See the description of the Process Mean & Sigma VI or the Sample Statistics VI for an explanation of how this value is calculated.
	number of observations is the number of observations from which the histogram was created.
	normal PDF height is the height of the normal PDF that will fit the histogram. Use this as an input to the Plot Normal PDF Graph VI or Plot Normal PDF Graph with Limits VI.
