Pressing the channel’s vertical scale knob toggles its sensitivity between coarse
and fine modes. In the coarse mode, the knob changes the Volts/Div scale in a 1-2-5
sequence from 2mV/div, 5mV/div, 10mV, ..., to 5 V/div. In the fine mode, the knob
changes the Volts/Div scale in small steps between the coarse settings. It is helpful
when you need to adjust the waveform's vertical size in finer steps.
