The range utilisation bar

This diagram at the bottom of the dialog shows how well the input range of the device

is matched to the scaled range.

• Green - The section of the input range that is used by the scaled range. This

should be as large as possible, to maximise the use of the scope device's

resolution.

• Blue - Areas of the input range that are not being used. These indicate wasted

resolution.

• Grey - Parts of the scaled range that are not covered by the input range. These

will result in wasted space on the graph. The range utilisation bar may not

represent these areas accurately when non-linear scaling is being used, so you

should always test the scaled range limits on the scope view.
