What is horizontal scale oscilloscope?

Horizontal Scale -- Sets the time scale (seconds/division) and automatically adjusts sampling rate for all waveforms. This makes the waveform appear wider or narrower on the display, Horizontal Position -- Shifts all the waveforms on the display left or right.

What does scale do on an oscilloscope?

The vertical scale knob controls the amount of voltage represented by a vertical division on the graticule. The horizontal controls are used to scale and position the time axis of the oscilloscope display.

What does the vertical and horizontal position of the oscilloscope represent?

The horizontal axis (X-axis) represents time and the vertical axis (Y-axis) represents voltage.

What does the horizontal axis on a digital oscilloscope usually represent?

Oscilloscopes allow observation of one or more voltages that vary over time and present them as a two-dimensional graph. The vertical axis (Y) represents voltage and the horizontal (X) represents time.
