Scale (Vertical scale adjustment)
The vertical scale (Y-axis) represents what is being measured (voltage, amperage, pressure etc.),
and the unit of measurement it is being measured in. The vertical scale is "always" divided into10
major divisions; how these divisions are defined, sets the scale of measurement.
NOTE:

Vertical scales (either channel) can be set independently.
NOTE:

Optional vertical scale preference settings are available. The Divisions option allow you to change
(to your preference) how the vertical scale menu selections are represented, and the type of value
that displays in the vertical scale icon. See Divisions‚ on page 100.
To adjust the vertical scale unit of measurement, select the Vertical Scale icon to open the vertical
scale menu. Select a value then press the N/X button, to exit the menu. The value displayed in the
vertical scale icon indicates the active value.
