Convert a voltage sensitivity of the waveform
measuring instrument into a current sensitivity.
Using the following formula can convert a voltage sensitivity
(unit: V/div) specified on the waveform measuring instrument
into a current sensitivity (unit: A/div).

Example
When your waveform measuring instrument with its voltage
sensitivity set at 10 mV/div measures a current that has an
RMS value of 1 mA
