Behavior. Use the Offset control to eliminate clipping the waveform. The offset control affects the vertical acquisition window by
subtracting a DC bias from the waveform. This moves the level at the vertical center of the acquisition window of the selected
channel. Visualize offset as scrolling the acquisition window toward the top of a large signal for increased offset values and
scrolling toward the bottom for decreased offset values.
The offset control affects the waveform display by defining the channel reference indicator to match the offset rather than the
ground level. The offset affects only channel waveforms as compared to the position control that affects all waveforms, including
math and reference waveforms.

Set the vertical position-scale
From the Vertical menu, select Vertical Setup.
To use. Use the Position control to set the vertical position of the waveform and the Scale control to set the vertical scale.
1. Click a Chan <1–4> tab to select the waveform on screen.
2. Click in the Position entry box and use the multipurpose knobs to adjust the position of the waveform.
3. Click in the Scale entry box and use the multipurpose knobs to adjust the vertical sensitivity.
TIP. You can also use the dedicated Position and Scale knobs on the front panel to control the position and scale of the selected
waveform.
