To Understand the Vertical System

As shown in Figure 1-8, there are several buttons and knobs in the VERTICAL

control area, which are used for setting Channels, MATH and REF functions as well as

adjusting vertical position and Volts/div of waveforms. In addition, different colors

are designed for different channels, corresponding to different waveforms, so as to

observe clearly.

waveforms and status information of corresponding channel and settings will be

displayed on the screen. The current selected channel will be shut down when

you press the key associated with the channel one more time.
