Built-in probes. The built-in probes are supplied by Pico Technology and do not
change unless you download an authorised update from us. As a safeguard,
PicoScope does not allow you to edit or delete these probes. If you want to modify
one of them, you can copy it to your library by clicking Duplicate, and then edit
the copy in your library.
Library probes. These are the probes that you have created using any of the
methods described in this topic. You can edit, delete or duplicate any of these
probes by clicking the appropriate button in this dialog.
Loaded probes. Probes in PicoScope data files
(*.psdata)
or settings files
(*.
pssettings)
that you have opened appear here until you copy them to your
library. You cannot edit or delete these probes directly, but you can click Duplicate
to copy them to your library where you can edit them. You can also import probes
from the custom ranges stored in PicoScope 5
*.psd
and
*.pss
files, but these lack
many of the features provided by PicoScope 6. (See "Upgrading from PicoScope 5
" for more details.)
Adding a new probe to your library
There are three ways to create a new probe:
1. Create a duplicate of an existing probe as described above.
2. Click New Probe... to define a new probe.
3. Click Import to load a probe definition from a
*.psprobe
file and add it to your
library. These files are normally supplied by Pico, but you can also create your own
by defining a new probe and then clicking Export.
The second and third methods open the Custom Probe Wizard to guide you through
the probe definition process.
6.5.2
