It has one timebase.
   
The timebase has several horizontal magnifier modes:
x2, x5, x10, x20, x50, and x100.
To make horizontal magnification usable, the 544 has a
vernier horizontal position control in addition to the
regular horizontal position control.  
The fastest calibrated sweep is 10ns/div.
Some magnification modes provide
sweeps faster than 10ns/div,
but in those modes the horizontal scale is not calibrated,
and a lamp on the front panel lights up
to remind the operator of that.
