Oscilloscope Reference Set the vertical scale
Set the vertical scale
From the Vertical menu, select Position/Scale.
Overview
Use the Scale control to set the vertical sc ale value of the selected waveform.
To use
Click in the Scale entry box to map it to one of the multipurpose knobs; then use the knob to move the
waveform.
You can also use the up-down arrows to change the value.
Behavior
Each waveform has its own vertical scale parameter. For a signal with constant amplitude, increasing the
scale causes the waveform to appear smaller. Decreasing the scale causes the waveform to appear larger.
The s cale affects all waveforms, but affects channel waveforms differently:
For channel waveforms, the scale setting controls the vertical size of the acquisition window (see
page 60) as well as the display scale. The range and resolution of the scale value depends on the
attached probes and any other external factors you may have specified.
For reference or math waveforms, the scale setting controls the display only. Scaling these waveforms
has no affect on the acquisition hardware.
Use the dedicated knob on the front panel for the selected waveform.
Enter a value with the on-screen pop-up keypad.
Use an attached keyboard to type a value directly into the position field.
