Scaling Method dialog

Location:

Probe Output Units dialog > Next

Purpose:

allows you to define the characteristic that PicoScope will use to convert

the custom probe's voltage output to a measurement on the display

How to use the dialog

If you do not require any scaling or offset, click the Don't apply any scaling

button.

If the probe requires linear scaling, click the Use a linear equation button and

enter the gradient (or scale factor) m and the offset c in the equation y = mx + c,

where y is the displayed value and x is the probe's voltage output.

If you wish to apply a nonlinear function to the probe's output, choose Use a look-

up table..., then click the Create a Lookup Table... button to create a new

lookup table. This will take you to the Lookup-table Scaling dialog.

Click Next to continue to the Range Management dialog.

Click Back to return to the Probe Output Units dialog.
