1 Center the signal on the display with the POSITION knob.
The POSITION knob moves the signal vertically, and it is calibrated. Notice that as
you turn the POSITION knob, a voltage value is displayed for a short time indicating
how far the ground reference is located from the center of the screen. Also notice
that the ground symbol on the left side of the display moves in conjunction with the
POSITION knob.
Measurement hints
If the channel is DC coupled, you can quickly measure the DC component of
the signal by simply noting its distance from the ground symbol.
If the channel is AC coupled, the DC component of the signal is blocked,
allowing you to use greater sensitivity to display the AC component of the
signal.
