Re: 8 bit resolution vs. values range

Hi Neil,

Thanks for replying. Could you further explain the "scale'' process a little bit? I would assume it is a linear procedure, but I have seen values like 0, 256, but also 513, 770,1027. It seems sometimes the interval is 256, but sometimes it is 257...

Thanks,
Si

8 bit resolution vs. values range

Hi,

I have a probably rookie question: my scope said the vertical resolution is 8 bit, why the API "getvalues" gives me 16-bit signed integers? Shouldn't the samples stay in the range of [0,255] or [-128,127]?

Thanks,
Si
