[time-nuts] Timelab error bars on xDEV traces

Hi,

I've been trying to figure out how the error estimates (error bars) in the 
XDEV traces in TimeLab are computed. The status bar says " +/- sigma / sqrt(n/
m)", obviously "n" is the number of values in the bin for the computed tau, 
but what is "m"? It cannot be smaller than "n" as the error estimate would 
then become larger than the actual value, right?

Looking for clues.

BR,
Matthias
