Range Management dialog

Location:

Scaling Method dialog > Next

Purpose:

allows you to override PicoScope's automatic range-creation feature for

custom probes. In most cases, the automatic procedure will be

sufficient.

How to use the dialog

If you select Let the software manage my ranges for me automatically, then

clicking Next will take you to the Custom Probe Identification dialog. PicoScope's

automatic ranges should be ideal for most applications.

If you select I will manage the Custom Probe Ranges manually, clicking Next

will take you to the Manual Ranges Setup dialog.

Click Back to return to the Scaling Method dialog.

What is Auto-ranging?

When the Auto-ranging function is selected, PicoScope continually monitors the input

signal and adjusts the range when necessary to allow it to display the signal with

maximum resolution. This function is available on all standard ranges, and can be

used with custom ranges only if you select Let the software manage my ranges

for me automatically in this dialog.
