Toggle each of the softkeys and notice which keys cause the status line to

Channels 1 and 2 have a vernier softkey that allows the Volt/Div knob
to change the vertical step size in smaller increments. These smaller
increments are calibrated, which results in accurate measurements
even with the vernier turned on.

a second time or press the
left-most softkey.
Invert operating hint
When you are triggered on the signal you are inverting, the inversion also
applies to the trigger signal (what was a rising edge now is a falling edge). If the
signal has a 50% duty cycle (square wave or sine wave), the displayed
waveform appears not to invert. However, for signals with a duty cycle other
than 50%, the displayed waveform does invert as you would expect.
