Scope Setup toolbar
The Scope Setup toolbar controls the time-related settings of your oscilloscope. It
normally looks like this:
Standard controls
Timebase control
.
When the active view is a scope view, this sets the
time represented by a single division of the horizontal axis when the
zoom factor is 100%. The timebases available depend on the type
of scope device you are using.
Choosing a timebase of 200 ms/div or slower causes PicoScope to
switch to roll mode. Instead of redrawing the whole waveform many
times every second, roll mode causes the waveform to move
continuously from right to left, with old data disappearing off the left-
hand side and new data being added on the right-hand side. This mode
is more convenient for viewing slowly changing data.
Additional controls
You can customize the Scope Setup toolbar to include the following additional
controls. See Toolbars for instructions on customizing.
Samples control. Sets the number of samples that fit across the width
of the Scope view . Increasing this number increases the time
resolution of the display. If PicoScope will not let you select as many
samples as you would like, try:
1. Reducing the oversampling factor
2. Selecting a slower timebase.
Oversampling control. This is set to 1 by default, so that
oversampling is disabled. See Oversampling for more information.
