The V/DIV Menu

The V/DIV menu, shown below, sets the number of volts denoted by each division on the
oscilloscope. This menu gives alternative methods for changing the output amplitude that
can be more convenient for certain oscilloscope applications. To access the V/DIV menu,
push V/DIV from the Volt menu.
Each item in the V/DIV menu is given below.

Shortcuts to Set the Voltage Amplitude

The  and  keys step the voltages through cardinal point values of an
oscilloscope in a 1-2-5 step sequence. For example, if the voltage is 40 mV, then push
 to increase the voltage to the nearest cardinal point, which is 50 mV. Push  to
decrease the voltage to the nearest cardinal point, which is 20 mV.

V/div Changes the scale of the output display by changing the number of volts that
are represented by each division. The available settings, shown in the figure above,
are provided in 1-2-5 step increments. Push the softkey below UP to increase the
volts per division. Push the softkey below DOWN to decrease the volts per division.
# DIV Specifies the number of divisions that establish the peak-to-peak value of the
waveform. The value can be adjusted from one to eight divisions. The amount
denoted by each division is shown in the V/div field. Push the softkey below UP to
increase the signal's height, and push the softkey below DOWN to decrease it.
