i'm looking for a 40 volt attenuation for my optascope.
i found in to the help screen that it's exits but i don't now how i can order it.
Secondly could you please inform me if i can use optascope as a recording oscilo( not just only for a flash but during a couple of hours or even a full day.
Thank you by advance,

    Hello,
    For the 40V attenuation try adding a 1Mohm (1% if you have it) in series with the scope probe.· This will divide the signal in half, then you can use the 40V attenuation button on the software.· I have not tried this a long time, so if you have any problems feel free to contact me directly.

    As for your other question you can not use the oscilloscope as a data logger right now.· The software only allows·you to take a snap shot or flash of data.· Sorry.
    Thanks,
    Doug

    Hi Doug,
    sorry for delay for my answers but i don't be at home last week.
    You say me than i don"t use optascope as a data logger.
    Aniway i use it on channel B as data logger via exell.
    May i use it to via channel A?
