You'll be advancing to a real 'scope one of these days young David 
A couple of weeks ago I was playing with one of my 7000 Series Tek 'scopes and I had to consult the Timebase Manual, 7B53A - can't remember what for. Bear in mind that I've been using these since about 1975. While at it I noticed that if you pulled the 'Delayed' Knob you got a Mixed Sweep. I swear that in 40 years I've never used that Function. Actually I regard it as pretty useless. Some of the old Valve 'scopes like 545 and 547 did Alternate as well although I've never rated that either.
So, after 40 years of being confident that I knew everything about them I've discovered something new. Of course I might have just forgotten, but .......
