Vertical Controls
Introduction
The vertical controls set or modify the vertical scale, position, and other signal conditioning for each of
the analog input channels.
There is a set of vertical controls for each input channel. These controls are used to scale, position, and
modify that channel’s input signal so it can be viewed appropriately on the oscilloscope display. In
addition to the dedicated vertical controls for each channel, there are also buttons to access the math
menu, reference menu and bus menus.
Vertical Position/Scale Controls
1. The following steps will explore the use of the vertical axis position and scale front-panel controls.
a. Turn the channel 1 vertical Position knob to position the waveform near the bottom of the
display and notice the ground level indicator also moves.
The vertical position control moves the waveform up and down. It is generally used to align the
waveform with the vertical divisions on the graticule. Position is generally a graphical display
function only and does not affect the acquired waveform data.
