Return to Introduction  Previous page  Next page
The Y-Control window (shown below) allows the chart Y-scale to be customised.

   el_ds1m12_y-control window


The window is divided into three sections. Each is described below:


Y-Scale

This allows the range of the Y scale to be manually adjusted. Simply enter the desired maximum and minimum values in the text boxes and click "Apply" to change the scale.


Y-Scale Parameter
This allows the units of the Y-axis to be changed. Volts (V) and milli-Volts (mV) are provided by default, but custom units may be created by clicking the "New" button and filling in the form below. Click "OK" to add the new units to the list of available units.

   el_ds1m12_y-scaling window

Custom units can be removed from the list by selecting them from the combo box and then clicking "Remove".


Saturation Voltage (V)
This panel provides control over the ADC saturation Voltage limit and coupling for channel A and channel B. In addition, activating the "X10" button as this will re-scale for a X10 probe as indicated below. Channel A or channel B can be configured by selecting the appropriate tab from the right hand edge of the Saturation Voltage panel.

If the Voltage saturation level is exceeded, the data will be clipped to the saturation value and displayed in a different colour. The colour for clipped data can be customised through the
View menu. If data is clipped, a memo is added in any exported file to indicate that clipping has occurred.
