5.3 Vertical Controls
Vertical controls can be used to display and remove waveforms, adjust vertical scale and
position, set input parameters and perform math calculations. Each channel has a separate
vertical menu to set. See below for menu description.

VERTICAL POSITION Knob:
Move the channel waveform up and down on the screen. In
dual-window mode, move the waveforms in both windows at the same time in a same

Coupling
DC
AC
Ground
DC passes both DC and AC components of the input
signal.
AC blocks the DC component of the input signal and
attenuates signals below 10Hz.
Ground disconnects the input signal.
20MHz Bandwidth
Limit
Unlimited
Limited
Limits the bandwidth to reduce display noise; filters the
signal to eliminate noise and other unnecessary HF
components.
VOLTS/DIV
Coarse
Fine
Selects the resolution of the VOLTS/DIV knob.
Coarse defines a 1-2-5 sequence. Fine changes the
resolution to small steps between the Coarse settings.
