VERTICAL 
 
MSO4000/DS4000 provides an independent vertical control system for each analog 
input channel.  
 
 
  CH1, CH2, CH3, CH4: analog input channel switches.  
The four channels are marked by different colors which are also used to mark 
the corresponding waveforms on the screen and the channel input connectors. 
Press any key to turn on the corresponding channel and open the corresponding 
channel menu; press again to turn off the channel. 
 
  VERTICAL 
  POSITION: channel vertical position knobs.  
Turn the knob to modify the vertical position of the corresponding channel 
waveform. During the modification, the waveform of the corresponding channel 
moves up and down; the vertical position information (as shown in the figure 
below) pops up at the lower-left side of the screen in real-time. Pressing down 
the knob can quickly reset the vertical position (zero). 
 
 
  VERTICAL 
  SCALE: channel vertical scale knobs.  
Turn the knob to modify the vertical scale of the corresponding channel 
waveform. During the modification, the waveform of the corresponding channel 
is expanded or compressed vertically (the actual amplitude keeps unchaged); 
the vertical scale information (as shown in the figure below) at the bottom of the
