Data Acquisition Toolbox

Scaling the Channel Data

You can scale the defined channels using the Channel Scaling panel. In particular, you can modify

• The horizontal scaling and offset for all display components.
• The vertical scaling and offset for one or more channels. To simultaneously modify the vertical scaling for multiple channels, select the desired channel names in the list box.

• Additionally, using the On/Off button, you can add or remove the selected traces from the Oscilloscope.

As shown below, the horizontal scale is changed to approximately 5 ms/div, and the vertical scale is modified to maximize the trace amplitudes. Note that the horizontal and vertical scaling information is shown at the bottom of each display component.

To specify a precise horizontal scale or offset, you modify the associated display properties. To specify a precise vertical scale or offset, you modify the associated channel properties. You can access these properties using the Scope Editor and the Channel Editor, respectively. You open these editors with the Edit menu or a right-click menu. Note that all displays use the same horizontal offset and scale.
