Using VERTICAL Controls

VERTICAL Controls

The VERTICAL control section for each channel has two
knobs, VOLTS/DIV and POSITION.
VERTICAL control knobs
The VERTICAL controls for each channel consist of
two knobs, the VOLTS/DIV knob and the POSITION
knob.
VOLTS/DIV knob
You use the VOLTS/DIV knob to set and change the
vertical voltage scale for the displayed waveform.
Consider this example. If the channel 1 volts/div
setting on the displayed readout is CH1 5.00V, then
each vertical division for channel 1 on the graticule
represents 5 Volts and the entire graticule of 8 vertical
divisions can display 40 Volts peak-to-peak.
POSITION knob
You use the POSITION knob of the VERTICAL
controls of a given channel to move the displayed
waveform up or down on the display.
