A newbie needs some help with my first DSO

Hello,

It would be good if awakephd would say what signal sources he has available, so that you could suggest better experiments.

Best regards

That option is there but you just don't like the way you make it happen--and it isn't really that much work even if it isn't what you're used to.

It is wasted memory because the previous measurement simply isn't relevant. So please give me the choice to have full memory in a single shot even though some or most of it doesn't show on screen right away.

Can you explain this a little better (not being argumentative, but I just don't understand)?  What is it you are looking for that can ONLY occur after the moment of acquisition?

for your reading pleasure, a separate 562 post thread on just that topic, linking to the context that nctnico intentionally leaves out (which makes this blatant inflammatory posting):

Dismissal of using a zoom window for... ill-defined/unsubstantiated reasons. Perhaps this forum will get another several thousand posts of crap on this topic over the next 10 years?

It should be zero work when it's something that's done as often as this.

I simply don't see the excuse for not fulling the memory when you press STOP.

(or use single trigger - same thing)

The STOP button is one of the single biggest features of a DSO.

Refer you back to the mega thread:
https://www.eevblog.com/forum/testgear/oscilloscope-zoom-out-quirk/
If the data is captured already for the stop button to hold it, then you've been having to capture that data on every trigger and slow the acheivable acquisition rate. If that is intended behaviour then it should be set and adjusted by the user, not the default. Using a zoom window adds more controls and makes the mode obvious, fewer controls, quicker to do, but takes up some of the visible screen. A trade off I'm very happy with and do not want swapped out.
