Vertical Scale (SCALE knob)
Voltage Scale Setting
The vertical scale is used to adjust the displayed waveform amplitude so that you can easily view signals. Set
the vertical scale by voltage per grid square (V/div) or current per grid square (A/div) on the screen.
Use the SCALE knob to set the vertical scale for each channel and sub channel.
The same SCALE knob is used to adjust the scale of each channel and sub channel.
To change the vertical scale of a channel, press the key from CH1 to CH16 that corresponds to the channel.
To change the vertical scale of a sub channel, press an odd channel key from CH1 to CH15, and then press the
soft key that corresponds to the sub channel.
The vertical scale changes when you switch to an input attenuator with a different attenuation. You can change
the scale in steps like this: 1 V/div -> 2 V/div -> 5 V/div.
Example
1 div = 1.000 V
If 1.000 V/div is changed to 0.500 V/div
1 div = 0.500 V

• While waveform acquisition is stopped, turning the SCALE knob will not change the displayed waveform.
The changed V/div value will be applied the next time that waveform acquisition is started.
• While waveform acquisition is stopped, turning the SCALE knob will not change the cursor-measurement
values or the automated measurement values of waveform parameters, they will continue to be based on
the V/div value at the time of measurement.
Selectable range of V/div
The selectable range varies as shown below depending on the input module.

These values are for when the probe attenuation is 1:1. Multiply the values by 10 when the attenuation is
10:1, by 100 when the attenuation is 100:1, and by 1000 when the attenuation is 1000:1.
