To Specify the Amplitude Unit

Click or tap the channel status label at the bottom of the screen, and then the
Vertical menu is displayed. Click or tap the Unit drop-down button to select W, A, V,
or U. The default unit is V.
Changing the amplitude unit also changes the units of the functions related to the
channel accordingly.

To Adjust Bias

When you use an oscilloscope to make actual measurements, a small offset that arises
from the temperature drift of the component or external environment disturbance
may occur on the zero-cross voltage of the channel, which will affect the
measurement results of the vertical parameters. This series oscilloscope allows you to
set an offset calibration voltage for calibrating the zero point of the corresponding
channel, so as to improve the accuracy of the measurement results.
In "Vertical" menu, click or tap the Up/Down arrow icon at the right side of the input
field of Bias to increase/decrease the bias value or use the corresponding
multipurpose knob to set the value. You can also click or tap the input field to input a
specific value with the displayed numeric keypad.
The range of bias is related to the input impedance and the vertical scale.
TIP
If the zero-cross voltage of the channel has a larger amplitude offset that exceeds the
adjustable null range, please perform self-calibration for the instrument to ensure the
measurement accuracy. For details, please refer to

To Specify the Skew

When using an oscilloscope for actual measurement, the transmission delay of the
probe cable may bring relatively greater errors (zero offset). This series oscilloscope
allows you to set a delay time for calibrating the zero offset of the corresponding
