Scaling and Positioning Waveforms
Scaling and positioning waveforms means increasing or decreasing their
displayed size and moving them up, down, right, and left on the display.
Two display icons, the channel reference indicator and the record view, help
you quickly see the position of the waveform in the display (see Figure 2Ć6).
The channel reference icon points to the ground of the waveform record
when offset is set to 0ĂV. This is the point about which the waveform conĆ
tracts or expands when the vertical scale is changed. The record view, at the
top of the display, indicates where the trigger occurs and what part of the
waveform record is displayed.
