Description

Functions to control the auto resolution mode.

The resolution can be set manually, but can also be set automatically, based on the selected sample frequency. Use ScpGetAutoResolutionModes() to determine the available auto resolution modes. Possible auto resolution modes are:

AR_DISABLED : Resolution does not automatically change.
AR_NATIVEONLY : Highest possible native resolution for the current sample frequency is used.
AR_ALL : Highest possible native or enhanced resolution for the current sample frequency is used.

When auto resolution mode is set to AR_DISABLED, the selected resolution will determine the maximum available sample frequency of the oscilloscope. When auto resolution mode is enabled, the selected sample frequency will determine the resolution of the oscilloscope.

Changing thesample frequency may change the resolution if auto resolution mode is AR_NATIVEONLY or AR_ALL.

Manually setting a resolution will set auto resolution mode to AR_DISABLED.

By default the auto resolution mode is set to AR_DISABLED for the Handyprobe HP3 and to AR_NATIVEONLY for all other supported instruments.
