Can you link me the video, please(altough, according to the manual, it should have no problem displaying most signals when all the controls are in their normal positions).
As for the vertical attenuator, i have read the topic you posted, but the OP being a guset, i dont know how to contact him. Furthermore, i have opened the scope and cant quite figure how to get to the rotary switch :S
edit: I have checked your video, and it was very helpfull, however, i cant solve my problem. the only way to stabilize a waveform, is to play with either the holdoff control, or the delay control, or to vary the timebase(with the center cal pot not the standard timebases).All of this must me done with the trigger level to auto, if i move it, it wont trigger at any level.
