Same "axis numbering" problem on my brandnew 34465A:
2.5 , 2.5000 , 2.5001 - WTF? ![Face Palm :palm:](https://www.eevblog.com/forum/Smileys/default/xfacepalm.gif.pagespeed.ic.EBDwh1hCfo.png)
Isn't there enough place for:
2.49995 , 2.50000 , 2.50005
It's actually...
2.500 10
2.500 05
2.500 00
But, yeah. Agreed on the
for rounding and truncating axis labels in the first place. You're not the first to trip over this!
At first, yes, there is not enough space to display all these digits. It's a 4.7" LCD only, and for an old man like me, some numbers are already too small to read, sometimes.
2nd, the rounding usually is done properly with the latest FW 2.14 (a similar issue has already been addressed in a recent version).
It is disturbing, anyhow, as this often gives identical numbers for 2 of the 3 labels.
3rd, in this case the limits are more probably 2.499 95 / 2.500 00 / 2.500 05, which would precisely be rounded to 2.5, 2.5 and 2.5001, as displayed.
Instead of guessing about that, you may use the "Vertical Scale" menu, select 'Manual', and then set Low and High parameters.
Here, the real limits are displayed to 6 to 7 decimal places, I think, and you also can then define the appropriate Y=window, which often is not set optimally, when using AutoZoom.
Afterwards, you might leave this menu again, to have full view of the measurement window.
I've seen a better solution for that space vs. resolution problem, I think, it was on the KEI 7510, i.e. the 'base value' is displayed to one or two decimal places somewhere on a major tick, and the major ticks divisor is displayed separately at the top.
In this case , that would be displayed as '2.5' and major ticks as '5.0E-5', minor ticks then would be 1E-5.
Such an engineering format would also be useful for the StD value, to overcome the same problem of small differences, also.
So I totally agree to HighVoltage, that KS should make another update for that.
