Y multiplier

PicoScope

Y multiplier
When the Y multiplier is set at 1, 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.

Note: You can change the X multiplier to expand the time axis, although this does not apply to the XY oscilloscope window.
