The Hantek DSO2000 has a cancel option. I have often used this.
Manual says:
Cancel: Let the oscilloscope recall the previous setup.

Ha-ha - so you are one of those guys who never hits the Auto button unintentionally while crafting a complicated acquisition…. :-DD

Totally agree. I avoid pressing it too, but it occasionally happens when I switch scopes. Not only Autoset screws everything up (most of the times...) but it also takes its time doing it, leaving you with nothing better to do but watch what you just did, for quite a few looong seconds. Then you have to start over...

I have recently used a Rigol MSO5000, with the Autoset button placed conveniently close the Run/Stop button (same color, same size, same tactile feeling). Not fun. Siglent SDS1104 also has the Autoset button dangerously close to the Run/Stop button, but at least they bothered to choose a different color for it (bright blue). Keysights and more expensive Siglents (e.g. SDS2000) have the Autoset button recessed (aren't they smart?), so at least you feel you are pressing the wrong button. Might have stopped a few slow, hesitant people with low-self confidence. :) Kudos to Iwatsu for allowing you disable the feature altogehter.

I'm in the opposite camp; I'm lazy, and when I can get away with it, Autoset is often a good starting point for me.

Siglent makes you press the Autoset button twice or confirm on screen (SDS2504X+ here). If I could disable the confirmation, I would. 😉

I'm with the crowd that are happy that Autoset And Default should have confirmation..
We are all different, aparently....

The cheapest scope has cancel options for Autoset and Default Setup
Imo the best solution.  ;)
