A limited set of channels are visible at any one time. Swipe vertically on the touchscreen to
scroll the visible channels.

Settings include:

Setting

Description

Target

Select the target impedance from a drop down list (1 kOhms -100 kOhms). This is used to color the
impedance value text during/after probing. Impedance values above the target are colored red,
values <75% below the target are green and all other values are yellow.

Freq.

Set the probe signal frequency from a drop down list. The frequency is adjustable from 35 Hz, 70 Hz,
140 Hz, 280 Hz, 560 Hz, 1120 Hz, and 2240 Hz. This feature is only selectable in daughter board

fi

rmware v1.3 and above, and PZ5 software v1.1.1 and above. The frequency is 

fi

xed at 140 Hz in

prior versions.

Probing

(Analog input amps only) Select the set of connections to measure. The available options in this list
change depending on the logical amp referencing mode. See table below.

Sort Button

Toggle button that displays the channels with the largest variation from the target impedance at the
top of the screen

Auto Button

Toggle button that cycles through each probing option every second

Next Button

Select to advance to the next probing option set
