The settings you make for offset, scale, and position affect the math waveform
you obtain. Note the following tips for obtaining a good display:

 You should scale and position the source waveform so it is contained on

screen. (Off screen waveforms may be clipped, resulting in errors in the
derivative waveform).

 You can use vertical position and vertical offset to position your source

waveform. The vertical position and vertical offset will not affect your
derivative waveform unless you position the source waveform off screen so
it is clipped.

 When using the vertical scale knob to scale the source waveform, note that it

also scales your derivative waveform.
