To Adjust the Horizontal Timebase

Horizontal timebase, also called the horizontal scale, refers to the time of each grid in
the horizontal direction of the screen. It is usually expressed in s/div. The adjustable
range of the horizontal timebase is related to the model type.
While you change the horizontal timebase, the displayed waveforms of all channels
are expanded or compressed horizontally relative to the current selected horizontal
reference baseline (refer to "Horizontal Expansion"). The horizontal timebase at
the upper-left corner of the screen will be changed accordingly, as shown in the
figure below.
You can adjust the horizontal timebase with the following three methods:
