Maximum Zoom Magnification Factor. If you are using Normal acquisition
resolution, the maximum horizontal magnification factor is 200X; in Fast-trigger
the maximum is 10X.
Horizontal Zoom and Preview. There are two ways you can magnify a stopped
acqui
sition, horizontal zoom or preview. The differences in how horizontal zoom
and preview interact with other functions are shown in the next table.
Function Horizontal zoom Horizontal preview
Horizontal Scale Sets magnification factor Changes time base for the
