(1) The Display is the area where the waveforms appear. The display comprises
the time base and graticules, the waveforms, histograms, and some readouts.
(2) The Graticule is the grid marking the display area. When Zoom is on,
depending on the graticule split setting, the upper graticule displays unmagnified
waveforms and the lower graticule displays magnified waveforms.
(3) The Horizontal scale readout provides a quick overview of the horizontal
settings for magnified and unmagnified waveforms.
(4) The Horizontal reference is a control that you can position to set the point
around which channel waveforms expand and contract horizontally on screen as
you change the Horizontal Scale control. It is also the trigger point when the
horizontal delay is 0%.
