Chapter 8 Utility Functions
However, you may need to switch the vertical axis (voltage axis) range to suit
actual input values.
For example, to display ±0.2 V at full scale, set the vertical display to 20 mV per
division (the instrument's 20 mV/div range)
For the rated capacity and rated output, consult the calibration record of the sen-
sor to be used. Set as follows:
With scaling, signals from the sensor are
acquired as current values.
A/B cursors and gauges are displayed
and printed with current (Ampere) val-
ues.

By using the Scaling function, signals
from the sensor are acquired as physi-
cal values.
A/B cursors and gauges are displayed
and printed as physical (G) values.
