PPM Analog Scale

The "Scale" key in the "PPM Analog" section of the PPM menu is used to select the scale displayed in the PPM instrument. Depending on the individual scale selected, certain instrument parameters are switched as well. The most important parameters for each scale are listed below.

Please note:

All scales are corresponding to the reference value selected in the "Analog Reference" option (Edit Current Preset >> Edit Group >> References).
