NOTE. This section describes how the vertical and horizontal controls define the
acquisition of live waveforms. These controls also define how all waveforms are
displayed, both live and derived waveforms (math waveforms, reference
waveforms, and so on). The sections that follow cover display-related usage:
HDisplaying Waveforms on page 3--123.
HCreating and Using Math Waveforms on page 3--185.

Signal Connection and Conditioning

This section presents overviews of the instrument features related to setting up
the input signal for digitizing and acquisition. It addresses the following topics:
HHow to turn on channels and adjust vertical scale, position, and offset
HHow to set horizontal scale, position, and access record-length and trigger-
position controls
HHow to get a basic trigger on your waveform
