If you select a high gain, the amplitude will get cut-off at higher
amplitude values (as presented in Fig. 44) and the obtained
frequency result will be different than the actual value. The gain
should be selected in order to obtain the best view in the screen of
the entire amplitude of the waveform (as presented in Fig. 45).
When the beginning of the signal seems to be cut off by the frame
of the plot, the gain should be reduced. On the other hand, when
the signal on the screen is very small in relationship to the plot
frame, the gain should be increased. The ideal gain is the one
where the waveform should be horizontally center in the graph and
the features of the waveform can be easily seen on the screen.

Missing Drivers (Emodulinx)
This is a known issue on some PCs that prevents Emodulinx from
