i don't have one yet, but i would assume you leave it on dc couple and select the wps probe in the drop down menu.

Kev

Tom has made some great custom range presets for the WPS 500 that is what you should use.

Kev,

I use the custom probes Tom made and then duplicated/customized them further.
I made one for turbo boost graphing.When I get time I will post a job (psd file/pics) I had recently.
It went to another shop and they said the injection pump
(diesel= expensive) was faulty.I captured the boost nicely on my laptop and explained to the customer that I thought he might have a wastegate fault .

You definitley want to use the custom probes that Tom made for the wps500. They work properly whereas the built in pico ones don't scale correctly (I think, I'm just repeating what I remeber hearing). Once you find which wps range and settings you want for startup, save a .psdata file and then you can open that file from pico to retain your desired startup settings for the wps500.

The wps500 custom probes are on the dropsite. There's also a tutorial video on the wps500, if I remeber right you'll hear why you should use the custom probes over the pico probes.
