Pressing an analog channel key displays the channel’s menu and turns the display of
the channel on or off. The channel is displayed when the key is illuminated.
Vertical sensitivity Turn the large knob above the channel key marked to set the
sensitivity (volts/division) for the channel. The vertical sensitivity knob changes the
analog channel sensitivity in a 1-2-5 step sequence (with a 1:1 probe attached). The
analog channel Volts/Div value is displayed in the status line.
Fine Press the Fine softkey to turn on fine control V/div adjustment (vernier) for the
selected channel. When Fine is selected, you can change the channel’s vertical
sensitivity in smaller increments. The channel sensitivity remains fully calibrated when
Fine is on. The V/div value is displayed in the status line at the top of the display.
When Fine is turned off, turning the volts/division knob changes the channel sensitivity
in a 1-2-5 step sequence.
Vertical expansion The default mode for expanding the signal when you turn the
volts/division knob is vertical expansion about the ground level of the channel. To set the
expansion mode to expand about the center of the screen instead, press Expand in the
User Preferences Menu ([Utility]&Options&Preferences) and select Center.
Ground level The ground level of the signal for each displayed analog channel is
identified by the position of the icon at the far-left side of the display.
Vertical position Turn the small vertical position knob ( ) to move the channel’s
waveform up or down on the display. The voltage value momentarily displayed in the
upper right portion of the display represents the voltage difference between the vertical
center of the display and the ground level ( ) icon. It also represents the voltage at the
vertical center of the display if vertical expansion is set to expand about ground.
Turning channels off
You must be viewing the menu for a channel before you can turn it off. For example, if channel 1
and channel 2 are turned on and the menu for channel 2 is being displayed, to turn channel 1 off,
press [1] to display channel 1 menu, then press [1] again to turn channel 1 off.
