PicoScope 6 Tech Tip: integration
When using the integral() function in the math channel editor, it is easy to get the scaling wrong so that you see unexpected zero or near-zero results.
The maximum range of an integral is the product of the input channel range and the capture time. If, for example, the input channel range is ±1 V and the capture time is 1 µs, the integral will be in the range ±1 µV.s. You therefore need to change the math channel's Min and Max values to –1e–6 to +1e–6 to see the result correctly scaled.

PicoLog 6 Tech Tip: subtracting channels
Q. I want to create a math channel that simply subtracts one channel from another. Is this possible? How do I refer to the other channels in the equation?
A. Open the calculator on the main device screen, click Insert Channel, select the channel, select minus sign, click Insert Channel, then select next channel, and finally click Add Channel.
