The touch/mouse is easy to get used too.  I use all 3 on the SDS2000X+.  Each function has it's best UI method.  When I go to the the SDS1000XE I often find myself touching the screen or reaching for a mouse.  :palm:

One of the main advantages of a touch screen is compacting / stretching the waveforms and slide left /right quickly using fingers. Way faster than using the knobs. I'm still doing that too little though. Old habbits. OTOH I keep on touching the screen on non-touchscreen test equipment assuming it has a touch screen. I find a touch screen very easy to get used to IF the UI has been designed for a touchscreen. On my Lecroy Wavepro the touchscreen is horrible to use for some things like selecting a measurement.

Micsigs have lots of hidden tricks in the UI.

eg. For Horizontal timebase you can touch the number at the bottom and it brings up a panel of timebase values that you can slide your finger around on to set the value - no multiple taps required.

Probably not many people found that one... I'll make a video tomorrow. :)

I know about them, they are in the manual but still the same feeling ...

Micsig doesn't do the pinch-to-zoom for horizontal time base. I assume they tried it and decided not to.

I can think of a couple of reasons why it would be "wrong":
a) It seems like it would be un-ergonomic on a vertical surface.
b) The horizontal also goes in 1/2/5 steps and pinch-zoom is a continuous "analog" input so it doesn't really fit.

I'm curious if people with pinch-zoom 'scopes ever use that feature?

PS: Micsig screens are multi-touch, they use it for other things in the UI but not horizontal timebase.

Tried it, but the knobs are right there so usually just reach for them.  That's one aspect I guess is more "knob friendly" for me.
