The screenshots I make with my MXO4 are more or less identical to the Batronix manual. And I've been using junk probes for my experiments.
One difference may be that the Batronix examples have sample rate at 5 Gsa/s and your scope seems to show 2 Gsa/s.

Yeah, that's a little out of my budget. 🤣
I thought the humps might be related to signal interference, and maybe they were using active probes or something.
I have nice Probe Master probes, but my scope does max out at 2 Gsa/s.

The true reason for this is the vast difference in bandwidth. Close to 600 MHz bandwidth (SDS2504X Plus) show a lot more detail - hence "uglier" traces - than a 200 MHz scope. Whether the imperfections of the signal are interferences from the environment, bad probing or in the signal source itself is unknown at this point, but the fact that higher bandwidth reveals more (even unwanted) details remains.
Apart from that, a scope with 12 bit ADC (MXO4) will generally show nicer traces, as every user of the SDS2000X HD can attest ;)
KungFuJosh:
Bit depth and bandwidth for the win!
I set the experiment back up, changed the bit depth to 10bit, which dropped the bandwidth to 100M. I also modified my acquisition to slow:
Edit: I fiddled with the display settings more, and put the menu back on to make Rob happy. 😉
For comparison...
Here's full bandwidth at 8bits:
200M limit at 8bits:
100M limit at 10bits:
