  Chapter III   Horizontal System 
3.1 Horizontal control   
 
(1) Horizontal control knob 
Change the horizontal time-base scale through SCALE knob, changing of horizontal scale 
can lead to expansion or shrink of waveforms relative to screen center. The horizontal 
system can be controlled by the following panel buttons/knobs. 
 
Change the horizontal position of waveform on the screen through POSITION, when the 
horizontal position is changing, the position relative to the waveform trigger point will move 
right and left. 
(2) Horizontal menu button 
Press HORI MENU to enter the horizontal menu function. (See table below)   
 
Table 3-1 HORI MENU 
Press to turn on the main time base   
Main time 
base/extensive 
time base 
Main time base: set as main time base, the main time base will 
change when adjusting horizontal time base. 
Extension time base: set as extension time base, the extension 
time base will change when adjusting horizontal time base. 
Press to turn on the extension time base 
To adjust the trigger hold-off time by multi-purpose knob 
 
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. 
Scan Mode:When the horizontal time base control is set at 100ms/div or slower, the 
instrument enters  the slow  scan sampling mode. When using the  slow scan  mode to 
observe low frequency signals, it is recommended to set the channel coupling to DC. 
SEV/DIV:Horizontal scale (time base) units, such as waveform sampling is stopped (using 
the RUN/STOP button), and the time base control expands or compresses the waveform.
