Oscilloscope Reference Set the vertical position
Set the vertical position
From the Vertical menu, select Position/Scale.
Overview
Use the Position control to set the vertical position of the selected waveform.
To use
Click in the Position entry box to map it to one of the multipurpose knobs; then use the knob to
move the waveform.
You can also use the up-down arrows to change the value.
Behavior
The Position control moves the vertical position of the waveform 0.2 divisions (0.02 divisions with
FINE control). Increasing the position value moves the waveform up, and decreasing the position value
moves the waveform down.
The Position control differs from the Offset control; for information on the Offset control for channel
waveforms refer to the Vertical Offset Control Window
(see page 487).
TIP. Several alternatives are available for adjusting the position of a waveform:
Use the dedicated knob on the front panel for the selected waveform.
Enter a value with the on-screen pop-up keypad.
Use an attached keyboard to type a value directly into the position field.
