B Intensity Adjustment. The B trace brightness varies relative to A trace brightness as the difference in A and B TIME/DIV switch setting varies. The B INTEN control (4) allows compensatory adjustment for the brightness difference. This control can be rotated clockwise for increased brightness. If necessary, adjust the A/B TRACE SEP control (33) so the B timebase trace(s) do not overlap the A timebase traces.
