6.5.2.6.1 Edit Range dialog
This dialog allows you to edit a manual range for a custom probe.
You can get here by clicking the Edit or New Range buttons in the Manual Ranges
Setup dialog .
Automatic mode
If you leave the "Automatic" radio button pressed, the program will automatically
determine the best hardware input range for the device as you change the Scaled
range limits. This is the best mode to use for almost all ranges. You should set the
Scaled range limits to the maximum and minimum values you wish to see on the
vertical axis of the scope display.
Fixed range mode
If you press the "Hardware input range" radio button and select a hardware input
range from the drop-down box, PicoScope will then use that hardware input range
whatever scaled range limits you choose. Set the upper and lower scaled range limits
to the limits you wish to appear at the top and bottom of the vertical axis in
PicoScope's scope view.
What is an input range?
An input range is the signal range, usually in volts, on the input channel of the scope
device . Your scaled range should match this as closely as possible to make the
most of the scope's resolution.
What is a scaled range?
The scaled range is the range that will appear on the vertical axis of the scope display
when the probe is selected.
The scaling that you chose on the Scaling Method page defines the relationship
between the input range and the scaled range. This dialog enables you to set up
ranges to display the scaled data on the scope view.
