VERTICAL POSITION Knobs. Use the VERTICAL POSITION knobs to
move the channel waveforms up or down on the screen.
VOLTS/DIV Knobs. Use the VOLTS/DIV knobs to control how the
oscilloscope amplifies or attenuates the source signal of channel
waveforms. When you turn a VOLTS/DIV knob, the oscilloscope
increases or decreases the vertical size of the waveform on the
screen.
Vertical Measurement Overrange (Clipping). Waveforms that extend
beyond the screen (overrange) and display a "?" in the measurement
readout indicates an invalid value. Adjust the vertical scaling to
ensure the readout is valid.
