2. You can choose to have your instrument automatically re-calibrate

itself whenever there is a significant change in ambient temperature
by marking the Enable checkbox on the Automatic Calibration
section of the dialog.

Note: If you do not enable this option, the oscilloscope re-calibrates
only at startup and whenever you make a change to certain
operating conditions.

3. If the option is available on your oscilloscope, you can set up the

oscilloscope to optimize either Analysis (acquisition and calculation
speed) or Display (update rate/speed) using the buttons provided on
the Optimize For section of the dialog.

Available choices are presented as a spectrum with highest values at
Analysis and Display extremes.

Select one of the buttons for the desired performance optimization.

Example reasoning for Analysis optimization would be its persistence
or averaging usefulness. In such a case, giving higher priority to
waveform acquisition at the expense of display update rate makes
practical sense.
