To pan and zoom a waveform

To pan and zoom a waveform

1Press the Run/Stop key to stop acquisitions. The Run/Stop key is illuminated red when the oscilloscope is stopped.

2Turn the sweep speed knob to zoom horizontally and turn the volts/division knob to zoom vertically.

The ∇ symbol at the top of the display indicates the time reference point where the zoom-in/zoom-out is referenced.

3Turn the Delay time knob ( ) to pan horizontally and turn the channel position knob ( ) to pan vertically.
