Knob

Description

Scale or Sc

Vertical knob

Makes the waveform bigger or smaller vertically in relation to its ground reference. Specified in
volts/division, ampere/division and watts/division on the y axis.

Horizontal knob

Stretches or shrinks the waveform horizontally around the timebase reference. Specified in time/-
division on the x axis. Applies to ALL traces.

Offset (Ofs)

Vertical knob

Moves the ground reference of the trace up or down in relation to the horizontal center line of the grid.

Horizontal knob

Moves the waveform to the right or left of the timebase reference.

Marker (Mrk)

Vertical knob

Moves the m1 marker right or left.

Horizontal knob

Moves the m2 marker right or left.

Using the knob for adjusting trigger level

Use the navigation keys to select the trigger level located on the left pane of scope view, as shown below.

Adjusting the Vertical or Horizontal knob will adjust the trigger level for Voltage level, or Current level accordingly.
