Scale
Scale controls the vertical scaling of the waveform. If the fine mode is off,
then the knob and arrow keys change the vertical scaling in a sequence that
is determined by the hardware scale selections. The hardware scale
sequence depends on the plug-in you are using. Typically, the hardware
scale sequence is either 1-2-5 or 1-2-4-5. When the fine mode is on, the knob
and arrow keys change the vertical scaling in smaller increments. You can
always use the keypad to enter values in 1-mV increments independent of the
fine mode. Software expansion is used to obtain the scale values between the
hardware scale selections.
The scale range depends on the plug-in you are using, and the probe
attenuation factor. The units that the scale is displayed in depend on the
unit of measure selected with the units softkey. The choices are Volt, Watt,
Ampere, or unknown.
