3.1 Horizontal control   
 
Figure 3-1    Horizontal System Interface 
 (1) Horizontal control knob 
Using the horizontal control knob can change the horizontal scale (time base) and 
trigger horizontal position (trigger position) in internal storage. The vertical midpoint in 
screen horizontal direction is the time reference point of waveform. Changing of horizontal 
scale can lead to expansion or shrink of waveforms relative to screen center. When the 
horizontal position changes, the position relative to waveform trigger point will be 
changed. 
The horizontal system can be controlled by the following panel buttons/knobs. 
The horizontal position control knob is use to adjust the horizontal position of channel 
waveform (including mathematical operation). The resolution of the horizontal position 
control knob varies at different time base.   
Horizontal scale control knob is use to change the time base of the channel waveform, 
by shown as s/div.    If the extension time base is being turn on, the window width will be 
changed by due to the delay scanning time base through turning the horizontal scale 
knob.  
 (2) Horizontal menu button 
user can press to enter the horizontal menu function. (See table below)

3.2 Explanation of nouns 
YT Mode:In this mode, the Y axis represents the amount of voltage, and the X axis 
represents the amount of time. 
XY Mode:In this mode, the X axis represents the CH1 voltage amount, and the Y axis 
represents the CH2 voltage amount.
