What exactly is the "intervals" input of the "Mode PtByPt.vi"?

[vnv]

I'm using this "Mode PtByPt.vi" now. I cannot get it to work as I want, since I don't know what the "intervals" input really is. ?How will it affect the "Mode" output of my input data. Appreciate if someone can explain

"Mode PtByPt" works by creating a histogram of the input data and then searching for the interval/bin with the most members. "Intervals" defines the number of histogram bins (dX). "Sample Length" defines the total size of the region being analyzed (Xmax - Xmin).

Good luck,

Sorry, I made a slight mistake. "Intervals" defines the number of histogram bins (N = (Xmax -Xmin)/dX).
