    Why is my Crystal Instruments Coco-80 Measuring Instruments sensor input lower than expected?
    • K
      Kimberly CarlsonJul 31, 2025
      The sensor input might be lower than expected because the sensor channel has not been set correctly. Verify that the Measurement Quantity and Sensor Sensitivity are correct.

    What to do if Crystal Instruments Measuring Instruments tachometer is not detected or reading unstable?
    • A
      Amber OwensAug 5, 2025
      If the tachometer is not detected or the reading is unstable, it could be due to the following reasons: 1. The tachometer threshold is not properly set. To resolve this, press Setup and select Tacho/RPM. Select Read from the tachometer measurement and press F1 (Tacho Setup) to configure the tachometer channel. Press F2 (Pulse Detection) to set the trigger level. Set the Detection Threshold around 80% of the peak voltage and press F6 (Apply). 2. The tachometer is on the wrong channel. Ensure that the tachometer is connected to Channel 1 on the CoCo.

    How to fix Crystal Instruments Coco-80 menus that are cut off?
    • V
      vmcconnellAug 13, 2025
      If menus are cut off, the scroll bar extends beyond the viewable area, or buttons are missing from menus, it is likely because Windows text scaling is set higher than 100%. To fix this: Windows 7/Vista: Open Control Panel -> Display. Set text size to 100% Windows XP: Right-click on desktop and select Properties. Click the Appearance tab. Set Font Size to Normal.
