11. Sound - use this setting with the internal microphone, external microphone and external AC signals
13. Sound - use this setting with the internal microphone, external microphone and external AC signals


12. Resistance sensor - use with external resistive type transducers
14. Resistance sensor - use with external resistive type transducers


13. Voltage sensor - use with external sensors which generate a voltage
15. Voltage sensor - use with external sensors which generate a voltage


14. Time base/frequency - graphs the signal vs. time or graphs amplitude vs. frequency
16. Time base/frequency - graphs the signal vs. time or graphs amplitude vs. frequency


15. Sample interval - a text file 'Measure Log' is saved to the journal, it contains one sample per interval
17. Sample interval - a text file 'Measure Log' is saved to the journal, it contains one sample per interval


16. Starts/stops saving a text file 'Measure Log' with measured values as readable text
18. Starts/stops saving a text file 'Measure Log' with measured values as readable text


17. This feature is not working well in version 36, the intention is to synchronise the sample period to the waveform so that the sample will start on a rising edge or falling edge
19. Trigger - synchronise the sample period to the waveform so that the sample will start on a rising edge or falling edge
