radio button. Use this control to

specify the type of units to use for the horizontal axis for
all timebases. You can select from seconds, bits, or
distance. The timebase scale and position controls
adopt the units you select.

14.

If your application requires it, you can also set either of
the following controls (they interact, so set one or the
other):

Enter a Dielectric Const (eps) value to match that
of the device under test.

Enter a Prop Velocity value to match that of the
device under test.
