I have a question about how the new external probe attenuation feature works. When the probe attenuation is set to a decimal fraction i.e. to something other than 1 or 10. the V/div reflects this decimal fraction such that the displayed grid lines on the scope screen are no longer nice whole numbers i.e. -5 -4 -3 -1 0 1 2 3 4 5. I would have expected the grid spacing to remain these nice whole numbers. My thinking of how the "attenuation" gain factor would be applied to the waveform values only (the data array) like a calibration factor and the screen grid would look the same.
I realize what you have implemented is probably the simplest thing to do i.e change the vertical scale and leave the wave form sample values alone but the user would not be expecting this. The user would expect the scope grid to remain fixed and the waveform to be scaled based on the external gain.
Just a suggestion.
