If

Also include

EXAMPLE:
The
vertical distance measured
is
4.6
divisions (see Figure 15).
The
waveform
is
above
the
reference line, and
the
VOL

switch
is
set
to

Substituting
the
given values:
Instantaneous Voltage

ALGEBRAIC ADDITION
With
the
VERT
MODE switch
in
the
ADD position,
the
waveform displayed
is
the
algebraic sum
of
the
signals
applied
to
the
Channel 1
and
Channel 2
inputs
(CH
1 + CH
2).
If
the
Channel 2 INVERT switch
is
depressed,
the
waveform displayed
is
the
difference
of
the
signals applied
to
the
Channel 1 and Channel 2 inputs (CH 1 -
CH
2).
