Multiply

When you select 1 * 2, channel 1 and channel 2 voltage values are multiplied point by point, and the result is displayed. 1 * 2 is useful for seeing power relationships when one of the channels is proportional to the current.

Press the Math key, press the 1 * 2 softkey, then press the Settings softkey if you want to change the scaling or offset for the multiply function.

Scale allows you to set your own vertical scale factors for multiply expressed as V2/div (Volts-squared/division), A2/div (Amps-squared/division), or W/div (Watts/division or Volt-Amps/division). Units are set in the channel Probe menu. Press the Scale softkey, then turn the Entry knob to rescale 1 * 2.

Offset allows you to set your own offset for the multiply math function. The offset value is in V2 (Volts-squared), A2 (Amps-squared), or W (Watts) and is represented by the center graticule of the display. Press the Offset softkey, then turn the Entry knob to change the offset for 1 * 2.

The figure below shows an example of multiply.
