Behavior. Each waveform has its own vertical Position control. The control increases or decreases the vertical position of the
waveform 0.2 divisions (0.02 divisions using the Fine knob). Increasing the position value of the waveform moves the waveform
up, and decreasing the position moves the waveform down.
Each waveform also has its own vertical Scale control. For a signal with a constant amplitude, increasing the scale causes the
waveform to appear smaller. Decreasing the scale causes the waveform to appear larger.
For channel waveforms, the scale setting controls the vertical size of the acquisition window as well as the display scale. The
range and resolution of the scale value depends on the attached probes and any other external factors that you may have
specified.
NOTE. The vertical system bandwidth (B
Ω
) readout will display the probe tip bandwidth if the tip is limiting the bandwidth of the
selected channel. See User interface map for the location of the readouts.

Multipurpose knobs
The multipurpose knobs can be used to set screen interface parameters (On DPO70000SX instruments requires the DPO7AFP
accessory). To use, click a control on the screen to map it to the multipurpose knob(s).
Control Description
On MSO/DPO5000B Series instruments
You can undo any mapping by right-clicking the multipurpose
knob(s) and selecting Deassign Multipurpose Knobs, or from
the Utilities menu, select the Deassign Multipurpose Knobs
command. The mapping is deassigned until your perform that
function again.
Turn the knob(s) or scroll with the mouse wheel until the
desired selection appears in the readout mapped to the knob.
Push the FINE button, or click the mouse wheel to use the
knob to make small changes, for example, to add another
decimal place for greater accuracy.
When no control windows are open and cursors are turned on,
the multipurpose knobs control the cursor positions.
