Using VERTICAL Controls

VERTICAL Control MENU Buttons

You use the various side-screen menu buttons of
VERTICAL controls to select special functions, such as the
input coupling for the signal, the bandwidth limit of the
oscilloscope, and the probe attenuation factor. The next
procedure demonstrates the steps to use the side-screen
menu buttons of VERTICAL controls to modify the vertical
scale of a waveform.

Modifying the Vertical Scale of a Displayed Waveform

You use the VOLTS/DIV knob to increase or decrease the
vertical resolution of the display. This procedure will enable
you to adjust and view the displayed waveform in fine detail.
This procedure assumes that the oscilloscope retains the
settings from the previous procedure.
To modify the vertical scale of a displayed waveform with
fine detail, follow these steps:
1. On the top of the front panel, push the AUTOSET
button.
2. Push the CH1 MENU button to display the side-screen
menu.
3. Push the appropriate side-screen menu button to
configure Channel 1 for voltage probe with 10X
attenuation.
4. Push the appropriate side-screen menu button to select
BW Limit ON 20MHz.
Limiting the bandwidth of the oscilloscope reduces high-
frequency noise in the waveform.
