3. To make positioning faster, press the SHIFT button. When the light above
the SHIFT button is on and the display says Coarse Knobs in the upper
right corner, the POSITION knob positions waveforms more quickly.
The POSITION knob simply adds screen divisions to the reference point of
the selected waveform. Adding divisions moves the waveform up and
subtracting them moves the waveform down. You also can adjust the
waveform position using the offset option in the Vertical menu (discussed
later in this section).

By changing the vertical scale, you can focus on a particular portion of a
waveform. By adjusting the vertical position, you can move the waveform up or
down on the display. Adjustment of vertical position is particularly useful when
you are comparing two or more waveforms.
