4.2 Horizontal Controls
Use the horizontal controls to change the horizontal scale and position of waveforms. The horizontal
position readout shows the time represented by the center of the screen, using the trigger time as
zero. When the horizontal scale is changed, the waveform will expand or contract to the screen center.
The readout near the upper right of the screen shows the current horizontal position in seconds.
M represents ‘Main Time Base’, and W indicates ‘Window Time Base’. The oscilloscope also has an
arrow icon at the top of the graticule to indicate the horizontal position.
1. HORIZONTAL POSITION BAR: Used to control the trigger position against the screen center.
2. TIME/DIV: Used to change the horizontal time scale so as to magnify or compress the waveform
horizontally. If the waveform acquisition is stopped (using the RUN/STOP button) the TIME /DIV
control will expand or compress the waveform. In dual-window mode, push button F1 to select major
or minor window. When the major window is selected, the F1 button provides the same functions as it
provides in single-mode window. When the minor window is selected, press TIME/DIV button to scale
the waveform (magnification can be set up to 1000x).
