Invert mode is used for subtracting two waveforms from the two channels connected to the oscilloscope (Channel A -Channel B).We first invert Channel B and then press the Add mode in the oscilloscope.We can use the same procedure to subtract channel B from channel A.Variable Time base is used whenever we need to fit in a low frequency signal into the screen of the analog o-scope(Remember the screen size is a constant).The Add mode on the oscilloscope is used when a circuit has multiple channels , so you use the ADD mode to ADD the 2 channels when troubleshooting a circuit that has different channels
But How does the ADD mode help you troubleshoot circuit's that has different channels with the same waveforms or with different waveforms?
When you do you use the Invert mode?

DVM can only give you the difference obtained in case of dc signal and it gives a rms value in case of an ac signal,but a random periodic signal,DVM cannot measure in such a case.Yes I know when you want to measure the voltage difference across a component like a DVM meter does

A simple situation when we use Subtraction is in the circuit containing op-amps or difference amplifier.
Suppose I need to check whether two signals that are inverted with respect to each other.Typical circuit is that of a Inverting unity gain amplifier.Now a simple way to check that is use the ADD mode in the oscilloscope.When do you use the ADD MODE on the O-scope to troubleshoot? or use it for what?
See the first post that I have posted.how do you use it to troubleshoot?

Yes you are right,that how you troubleshoot.So you put the oscilloscope probes on the Two signals that are on the INPUT pins of the Op-amp , to check if they are inverting? and you use the ADD MODE on the O-scope?
But it cannot tell us what kind of signal that you have measured,you just know that it is a periodic signal.Not whether it is a sinusoid or a triangular wave.Yes , a DVM meter can also Measure the AC voltage difference and DC voltage difference across a component
.Both the add and subtract features can be used to check the co-incidence of pulses, edges of pulses, rise times etc
taking CH1 display and showing it on the first time base sweep, then CH2, is given a DC offset and is displayed on the next sweep of the time base.
If you add two square pulses, one delayed compared to the other, the front edge of the addition of them will have a "step" in it, the width of the step will be the delay
the CRO puts a DC offset, so each "line for a channel" appears at a different Y position on the screen.
You want to do this so you can look at different parts of a circuit at the same time, say the input signal to a amp,the output of the amp with a flattened peak (gross distortion), and still have spare channels to investigate different parts of the circuit, say the + and - output of a phase splitter.
"the CRO puts a DC offset, so each "line for a chan
.Triggering the CRO time base from some point in the line output circuit
Given a four channel CRO (Cathode Ray Oscilloscope). On the first time base sweep, the CRT (Cathode Ray Tube), displays what is being put into channel 1 at a position 4 Cm (Centimetres) above the centre of the tube. On the next timebase sweep, the CRT displays what is on channel 2, 2 Cms above the centre of the tube. On the next time base sweep, the CRT displays whats on channel 3, 2 Cms below the centre of the tube. On the fourth sweep, channel four is displayed, 4 Cms below the tube centre. On the next sweep of the timebase, channel 1 is displayed.
The above situation is when each channel is AC coupled with its shift control centred. Moving the channel shift controls or displaying the signals with a DC offset, can be confusing as the relative positions of the channel displays move about, so channels may be wrongly identified.
