To adjust vertical scaling
• To make the waveform bigger, click on the larger waveform button next 
to the channel number near the top of the display.   To make the 
waveform smaller, click on the smaller waveform button.
See figure 3-32.  The number of volts per division decreases.
The number of volts per division increases.  The current setting in volts per 
division is shown next to the waveform buttons for the channel.  Notice that the 
setting is color-coded to match the waveform color for easy recognition.
You can also adjust the vertical scaling by clicking on the current setting, which 
is shown next to the waveform buttons for the channel.  This displays a pop-up 
numeric keypad that allows you to set an exact value for the scaling.  Or, you 
can adjust the vertical scaling through the Channel Setup dialog box.  See “To 
access the channel setup” on page 3-44.
