For Binning Auto, the algorithm starts by continuously readjusting the histogram span based on the readings coming in, completely re-binning the data whenever a new value comes in outside of the current span. After acquiring a large number of readings, a new reading outside of the range causes the bins to be compressed by a factor of two such that the new bin range will cover the new reading. The number of bins shown is a function of the number of readings received: 0 to 100 readings = 10 bins, 101 to 500 readings =20 bins, 501 to 1000 readings = 40 bins, 1001 to 5000 readings = 100 bins, 5001 to 10000 readings = 200 bins, >10000 readings = 400 bins.
