What is a "bin" in the Latency Histogram

A lot of info referring to "bins" when it comes to the Latency Histogram component, but it would be nice if I knew exactly what a bin is.

I've Googled but can't find the answer. Could anyone be kind enough to enlighten me.

googling "histogram bin" finds it for me

Thanks very much PCW.

First Google result and I'm wiser now.

That's where I was going wrong. I thought a bin was something specific to Linux or Linuxcnc, whereas it's just a term related to a histogram.

Its actually a very good question. The docs don't really give us anything about latency-histogram.
All that's offered is a copy of the eman page..
linuxcnc.org/docs/2.9/html/install/latency-test.html
It would be nice to see this get a bit of love...

I found out on the Google search that another name is "bucket" LOL.

So a bucket or a bin (as in a container).

Before that the only thing I could relate "bin" to was "binary" but that didn't make sense.
