4. Entry knob The Entry knob is used to select items from menus and to change values. The function of the Entry 
knob changes based upon the current menu and softkey selections.
Note that when the Entry knob  symbol appears on a softkey, you can use the Entry knob, to 
select values.
Often, rotating the Entry knob is enough to make a selection. Sometimes, you can push the Entry 
knob to enable or disable a selection. Also, pushing the Entry knob can also make popup menus 
disappear.
5. [Default Setup] 
key
Press this key to restore the oscilloscope's default settings (details on "Recall the Default 
Oscilloscope Setup" on page 16).
6. [Auto Scale] 
key
When you press the [AutoScale] key, the oscilloscope will quickly determine which channels have 
activity, and it will turn these channels on and scale them to display the input signals. See "Use 
Autoscale" on page 17.
7. Horizontal and 
Acquisition 
controls
The Horizontal and Acquisition controls consist of:
• Horizontal scale knob — Turn the knob in the Horizontal section that is marked   to 
adjust the time/div setting. The symbols under the knob indicate that this control has the effect 
of spreading out or zooming in on the waveform using the horizontal scale.
Push the horizontal scale knob to toggle between fine and coarse adjustment.
• Horizontal position knob — Turn the knob marked   to pan through the waveform data 
horizontally. You can see the captured waveform before the trigger (turn the knob clockwise) or 
after the trigger (turn the knob counterclockwise). If you pan through the waveform when the 
oscilloscope is stopped (not in Run mode) then you are looking at the waveform data from the last 
acquisition taken.
•[Acquire] key — Press this key to open the Acquire menu where you can select the Normal, XY, and 
Roll time modes, enable or disable Zoom, and select the trigger time reference point.
Also you can select the Normal, Peak Detect, Averaging, or High Resolution acquisition modes 
and use segmented memory (see "Selecting the Acquisition Mode" on page 54).
• Zoom   key — Press the   zoom key to split the oscilloscope display into Normal and Zoom 
sections without opening the Acquire menu.
