Oscilloscope Zoom Out Quirk

One way is as good as the other, maybe, but DSOs are designed, primarily, around zooming in. Zooming out, you are going to find yourself going against the grain. Like a left-hand thread works just as well as a right-hand thread, but insisting on using left-hand thread screws everywhere may be a problem.

Says who? Nobody provided any evidence that zooming out is not the way an oscilloscope works. The fact it (recording beyond the screen) is possible on many oscilloscopes suggests that those are actually designed to work this way. It seems Keysight even went through the trouble to make single acquisition mode different compared to normal acquisition mode to support zooming out after a capture by recording beyond the screen. No, the problem is definitely that some seem to be stuck in the idea that you should always zoom in and use exact settings. Even when making those settings and zoom window adds zero benefit to solving the problem at hand.

User tv84 nailed it in it´s last post here exactly, in my opinion.
