This dialog box enables you to select which input channels to display in the active window and to set the input voltage ranges.

Channel
DrDAQ can collect data from four channels in PicoScope. If you collect data from more than one channel, you can optionally use Alternate mode.

Range
By default, this is set to
Volts. If you add custom ranges to scale the input from sensors (for example, pressure or acceleration), the custom ranges will appear here and you must select them to use them.

Multiplier
When the Y multiplier is set at
Off, the computer displays the full voltage range within the boundaries of the instrument window.

If you change the Y multiplier to
x1, the computer initially displays the full voltage range, but also displays a scroll bar. You can use this scroll bar to move the trace up or down, away from other traces.

If you change the Y multiplier to
x2, the computer displays only half of the voltage range, but at double magnification. The scroll bar now controls which portion of the voltage range is displayed.
