Scale
The Scale function changes the sweep speed from 10 ps/div to 1 s/div.If
bit period has been selected for the time base units, scale is measured in
bits.You can change the sweep speed with the knob, keypad, or arrow
keys. The knob and arrow keys operate in two modes. One mode is a 1-2-5
step sequence, while the other mode is a ne mode that allows smaller
incremental changes. The keypad allows you to enter more precise values
than are possible with either the knob or arrow keys.
When the
instrument is
stopped,
and
you
expand
the
scale
,

instrument

signal at

feature
allows
you

or

the
memory

at
the
top
of the
display
,

can
see
what
portion
of
memory
you
are
zooming
on.
