5.5 Setting the Vertical Sensitivity
1. Press the V/DIV key of the desired channel to display the vertical
sensitivity setting menu. Verify that the “CAL” setting is highlighted.
2. Turn the rotary knob to set the desired sensitivity (V/div).
3. In case you want to adjust the setting in smaller steps, press the
“Variable” soft key.
4. Turn the rotary knob to set the desired sensitivity.
Explanation
Setting the range and probe attenuation
The V/div setting range varies depending on the attenuation of the probe used, as shown
below.
Probe attenuation Setting range*
1:1 1 mV to 5 V/div (for DL1520/DL1520L, 2 mV to 5 V/div)
10:1 10 mV to 50 V/div (for DL1520/DL1520L, 20 mV to 50 V/div)
100:1 100 mV to 500 V/div (for DL1520/DL1520L, 200 mV to 500 V/div)
1000:1 1 V to 5000 V/div (for DL1520/DL1520L, 2 V to 5000 V/div)
* V/div can be set in multiples of 1, 2 and 5, e.g. 1 V/div → 2 V/div → 5 V/div.
Variable mode
When “Variable” is highlighted, V/div can be set in fine steps as shown below.
CAL Setting value Variable Setting range* Setting step*
10 mV 5.0 mV to 20.0 mV 0.1 mV
(Available on DL1540/DL1540L)
20 mV 10.0 mV to 50.0 mV 0.1 mV
50 mV 20.0 mV to 100.0 mV 0.1 mV
100 mV 50 mV to 200 mV 1 mV
200 mV 100 mV to 500 mV 1 mV
500 mV 200 mV to 1000 mV 1 mV
1 V 0.5 V to 2.00 V 0.01 V
2 V 1.00 V to 5.00 V 0.01 V
5 V 2.00 V to 10.00 V 0.01 V
10 V 5.0 V to 20.0 V 0.1 V
20 V 10.0 V to 50.0 V 0.1 V
50 V 20.0 V to 100.0 V 0.1 V
* The above values are given for a probe attenuation of 10:1. They will be 1/10 of the value shown
when the attenuation is 1:1, 10 times the value shown when it is 100:1, and 100 times the value
shown when it is 1000:1.
Note
If the RESET key is pressed to reset V/div setting, V/div will be set to the maximum possible level.
For a description of how to set the probe attenuation, refer to page 5-4.
