The Channel Setup toolbar controls the settings for each vertical input channel The screen shot below shows the toolbar for a four-channel scope device 68, but different scope devices may have different numbers of channels.

Each channel has its own set of buttons:

68.

Scale Control. Determines the maximum and minimum signal levels at the top and bottom of the Y axis for this channel. The number of options depends on the selected scope device 68 and probe 68. If you select Auto, PicoScope will continually adjust the vertical scale so that the height of the waveform fills as much of the view as possible.

Coupling Control. Selects AC coupling 68 or DC coupling 68.

Advanced Options button. Opens the Probe drop-down menu 47 to allow you to select a probe 68 for this channel.

7.3.1Probe Drop-Down menu

The Probe drop-down menu appears when you click the Advanced Options button on the Channels toolbar 47. Use it to tell PicoScope what type of probe is connected to a channel. By default, the probe is assumed to be x1, which means that a one-volt signal at the input to the probe will appear as one volt on the display.

Expand probe list. Click this to select from a list of probes.

Open Custom Probes dialog. The Custom Probes dialog your library of custom probes.
