| Selecting x10 probes |
|
You can tell PicoScope that you are using a x10 oscilloscope probe: PicoScope then displays all voltages ten times higher. The range selections do not change, but traces and meter readings will be scaled correctly.
1 Select Settings from the main menu
2 Select Probes from the Settings menu
3 The computer shows a menu of x1/x10 for each channel
4 There is a tick next to the currently selected option for each channel
5 Check the option for chA x10 or chB x10.
You can use the same method to use a x20 or x100 oscilloscope probe.
If the fixed attenuation options are not sufficient for your application, you can set up PicoScope for use with probes of any type by creating a custom range.
Safety note: you should use an isolated oscilloscope probe if you wish to work with, or near, high voltages.
