Front Panel Function Overview 
 
VERTICAL 
 
 
CH1, CH2, CH3, CH4: analog channel setting 
keys. The 4 channels are marked by different 
colors which are also used to mark both the 
corresponding waveforms on the screen and the 
channel input connectors. Press any key to open 
the corresponding channel menu and press again 
to turn off the channel. 
 
MATH: press MATH  Math, you can open the 
math operation menu under which A+B, A-B, A×
B, A/B, FFT, A&&B, A||B, A^B, !A, Intg, Diff, Sqrt, 
Lg, Ln, Exp and Abs are provided. You can also 
press MATH to open the decoding menu and set 
REF: press this key to enable the reference waveform function to compare the 
waveform actually measured with the reference waveform. 
 
Vertical 
  POSITION: modify the vertical position of the current channel 
waveform. Turn clockwise to increase the position and turn counterclockwise to 
decrease. During the modification, the waveform would move up and down and the 
position message (e.g. 
) at the lower-left corner of the screen would 
change accordingly. Press down this knob to quickly reset the vertical position to 
zero. 
 
VERTICAL 
  SCALE: modify the vertical scale of the current channel. Turn 
clockwise to decrease the scale and turn counterclockwise to increase. During the 
modification, the amplitude of the waveform would enlarge or reduce and the scale 
information (e.g.
) at the lower side of the screen would change 
accordingly. Press down this knob to quickly switch the vertical scale adjustment 
modes between “Coarse” and “Fine”. 
 
How to set the vertical scale and vertical position of each channel? 
The 4 channels of MSO1000Z/DS1000Z use the same VERTICAL 
  POSITION 
and VERTICAL 
  SCALE knobs
. If you want to set the vertical scale and vertical 
position of a certain channel, please press CH1, CH2, CH3 or CH4 at first to 
select the desired channel. Then rotate the VERTICAL    POSITION and 
VERTICAL    SCALE knobs to set the values.
