How do you add an offset to correct a probe's zero input?

Post by ffortino »

Picoscope 5 let you correct for an offset when a probe is grounded.
Picoscope 6 is missing this feature.
Will it be added back ?
What is the work around ?

Thanks,

You would do that with the y = mx + c within custom probes.

Would that be under Edit/New Probe?
Running 6.5.42 and the program crash whenever I click those...
Just sent a bugreport.

Why not add a simple button in the toolbar?

GregerG,

You will not be able to edit or create a probe with the 6.5.42 beta. It's broken. Uninstall it, delete the Pico Technology folder and go to the 6.4.95 release version.

Oh, thanks for the info.
But I really really want the RS232/UART and SPI decoding :))

No worries. The Pico team is on it and I'm sure this will be released in a fully operational build soon. I have never encountered a more dedicated group of individuals with such focus on customers needs....other than us of course :lol:

Thanks Tom, your help is always appreciated.

GregerG, there was a problem with the installer on 6.5.42, there will be another release very soon :)

Kind regards
