9.9.11 Scale (Vertical / Y-axis)
The vertical scale (Y-axis) represents what is being measured (voltage, amperage,
pressure etc.), and the unit of measurement it is being measured in. The vertical
scale is “always” divided into10 major divisions; how these divisions are defined,
sets the scale of measurement.
Vertical scales (any channel) can be set independently.
To adjust the vertical scale unit of measurement, select the Vertical Scale icon to
open the vertical scale menu. The value displayed in the vertical scale icon
indicates the active value. Adjustment can also be made using the Trace Controls
menu, see Trace Controls Menu on page 108.
Example: Selecting 10V, changes the vertical scale to a 10V volt scale. The scale
is “always” divided by 10, therefore each division is incremented by 1V.
Figure 9-32
Example: Selecting 50 psi displays a 50 psi scale that is divided by 10, therefore
each division is incremented by 5 psi.

9.9.12 Sweep Scale (X-axis)
The Sweep Scale or horizontal scale (X-axis) represents time, and the unit of
measurement it is being measured in. The horizontal scale is “always” divided
into10 major divisions. How these divisions are defined sets the scale of
measurement. The value displayed in the sweep Scale icon indicates the active
sweep setting.
The sweep setting applies to all channels and cannot be set independently per
channel.
To adjust the sweep scale, select the Sweep Scale icon from the Control Panel to
open the sweep scale menu. The value displayed in the Sweep Scale icon (white
color) indicates the active value.
Adjustment can also be made using the Trace Controls menu, see Trace Controls
Menu on page 108.
