Introduction to the Vertical System

As shown in Figure 3-10, there are a few of buttons and knobs in Vertical
Controls. The 4 channels are marked by different colors which are also used
to mark both the corresponding waveforms on the screen and the channel
input connectors. Press one of the channel buttons to open the corresponding
channel menu, and press again to turn off the channel.
Press the Math button to display the math menu in the bottom. The pink M
waveform appears on the screen. Press again to turn off the math waveform.
The 4 channels use the same Vertical Position and Vertical Scale knobs. If
you want to set the vertical scale and vertical position of a channel, please
press CH1, CH2, CH3 or CH4 at first to select the desired channel. Then turn
the Vertical Position and Vertical Scale knobs to set the values.
The following practices will gradually direct you to be familiar with the using of the
vertical setting.
1. Press CH1, CH2, CH3 or CH4 to select the desired channel.
2. Use the Vertical Position knob to show the selected channel waveform in the
center of the waveform window. The Vertical Position knob functions the
regulating of the vertical display position of the selected channel waveform.
Thus, when the Vertical Position knob is rotated, the pointer of the earth
datum point of the selected channel is directed to move up and down following
the waveform, and the position message at the center of the screen would
change accordingly.
Measuring Skill
If the channel is under the DC coupling mode, you can rapidly measure the DC
component of the signal through the observation of the difference between the
wave form and the signal ground.
