Chapter 3 Horizontal System Setting    RIGOL 
MSO4000/DS4000 User’s Guide  3-13 
To Specify the Horizontal Reference 
 
The horizontal reference is the reference position according to which the screen 
waveform is expanded or compressed horizontally when using HORIZONTAL 
 
SCALE to modify the horizontal time base.  
 
Note: You can only set the horizontal reference when the “Y-T” mode is used and the 
delayed sweep is on. 
 
Press MENU (in the horizontal control area (HORIZONTAL))  HorRef, turn the 
multi-function knob   to select the desired horizontal reference position and press 
the knob to select this position (the default is the screen center). You can also press 
HorRef continuously to switch the current horizontal reference position.  
 
  Screen Center: when changing the horizontal time base, the waveform displayed 
is expanded or compressed horizontally relative to the center of the screen. 
  Trigger Position: when changing the horizontal time base, the waveform is 
expanded or compressed horizontally relative to the trigger point. 
  User-defined: when changing the horizontal time base, the waveform is 
expanded or compressed horizontally relative to the user-defined reference 
position.  
When “User” is selected, press RefPos and turn the multi-function knob   to 
set the user-defined reference position. The adjustable range is from -350 (the 
rightmost) to 350 (the leftmost). The default is 0 (screen center). Pressing the 
multi-function knob 
 can quickly reset the reference position to 0.
