Subtraction (CH1 – CH2, CH2 – CH1)
When you select CH1 – CH2, the channel 2 voltage values are subtracted 
from channel 1 voltage values, point by point. Conversely, if the CH2 
– 
CH1 is selected, the channel 1 voltage values are subtracted from channel 
1 voltage values and the result is displayed in math waveform. This 
function is useful for comparison of the two waveforms and to make a 
differential measurement. For adjusting the math vertical position, turn 
the rotary switch to offset the position. 
Figure 3-38 Subtraction signal at channel 2 from channel 1
If the waveforms from channel 1 and channel 2 have different vertical scale factor, the math 
waveform vertical scale is automatically set to the higher sensitivity of the vertical scale 
factor.
