Timebase
— The ProbeScope’s timebase is its sam-
pling rate (the rate at which measurements are taken)
and is not always the same as used in typical oscillo-
scopes.
The timebase on the ProbeScope’s LCD repre-
sents the probe’s sampling rate and is shown in
seconds (such as 0.1 ms, meaning that the
ProbeScope takes a measurement every 0.1 ms).
The timebase on the computer’s display depends
on whether or not you select the grid overlay to
appear on the oscilloscope’s display.
When the grid is not displayed, the timebase
on the computer’s display shows the Probe-
Scope’s sampling rate (matches the timebase
shown on the ProbeScope’s LCD).
When the grid is shown, the timebase on the
computer’s display is 10 times the LCD’s sam-
pling rate and is shown in seconds per grid di-
vision (the same as in typical oscilloscopes).
