- Operation Menu
- 'Ch1' - Displays the channel 1 signal.
- 'Ch2' - Displays the channel 2 signal.
- 'Dual' - Displays the channel 1 and channel 2 signal.
- 'Math: Add(Ch1+Ch2)' - Displays the channel 1, 2 and Math Operation (Add: Ch1+Ch2).
- 'Math: Sub(Ch1-Ch2)' - Displays the channel 1, 2 and Math Operation (Subtract: Ch1-Ch2).
- 'Math: Sub(Ch2-Ch1)' - Displays the channel 1, 2 and Math Operation (Subtract: Ch2-Ch1).
- 'X-Y (X=Ch1, Y=Ch2)' - X-Y mode. Channel 1 becomes the X-axis input and channel 2 becomes the Y-axis input.
- 'X-Y (X=Ch2, Y=Ch1)' - X-Y mode. Channel 2 becomes the X-axis input and channel 1 becomes the Y-axis input.
- Channel Number Button (Invert Button) - Press this button to invert the positive and negative signs of the waveform.
- Vertical Scale Slider (V scale)
- Vertical Position Controller (V position)
- Right-clicking on the 'V Position controller' brings up the 'Ofset' menu. By operating 'Offset', you can shift the display position of the waveform.
- Time Base Menu - Select the time base: 10μs - 0.5s.
- Horizontal Position Controller (H position)
- Trigger Mode Menu
- 'Normal' - Normal trigger mode.
- 'Auto' - Auto trigger mode.
- 'Single' - Single trigger mode.
- Trigger Source Menu

- Trigger Indicater - It lights like a green LED when trigger occurs.
- Holdoff Controller - Adjust hold off period (unit: div). How to convert 'div' into time: If 'Holdoff'
= 1.3div and 'Time Base' = 1ms/div, then time = 1ms/div x 1.3div = 1.3ms.
- 'Run' Button - Press 'Run' button to start waveform acquisition. 'Run' button changes 'Stop' button.
- 'Stop' Button - Press 'Stop' button to stop waveform acquisition. 'Stop' button changes 'Run' button.
