Logarithmic scales are as the name implies. Increments between the levels are based on a log10 scale. Measurement data with negative values or zero values cannot be displayed with a log scale. Log scales can only display the portion of the measurement data that is greater than zero. The figure and table below discuses only the differences between the linear and log scales.

Sets the number of divisions between log cycles. For example, for a log scale that extended from .01 to 10 (3 log cycles) with the number of divisions set to 5, the scale would have a total of 15 discrete scale ranges.
