content: Is there a way to edit the sleep mode settings ? Channel volts/div, time base, 20MHz filter on, etc.Every time I power the scope up I have to go through resetting it. Yes, I know I can create and use a startup setup file but it would be handier if I could edit the defaults so that the scope starts the way I want it to immediately.Thoughts ?I wish the MSO5000 had a sleep mode that it could be powered down and power up instantly at the same point it was when I put it to sleep.

content: Did you read the manual yet?QuoteTo change the defaults you'd have to figure out how to hack that in memory somewhere, could be possible.

content: Hello,You can also use the STORAGE function of the MSO5000.It “Saves the Setup” on the internal Local Disk (C), with all the parameters that you are currently using to measure your signal of interest, including GI, GII, FFT, Measure, Bode Plot data...And then you can reload it whenever you want.You can turn off your MSO5000, or also press the “Default” button. And clear everything, to the initial factory configuration, and then “Load” the specific setup that you want...The Setup is saved with numbering, for example “RigolDS1.stp”, or with “1, 2, 3...”. If you want, you can put your own names on the files before saving to the Local Disk (C)...numbering is always in chronological order and automatic.If you write down the list you saved for each setup in an external file, paper, or media, it helps a lot, for example, if you have more than 20 setups saved... so you don't waste time...You can modify the saved setup, loading it, making the changes, and then saving it with the same code, which replaces the old one, or with a new number.If you want, you can permanently delete a certain setup that you no longer want, or delete the entire folder, and start over from the beginning...You can also save the setup on a USB flash drive, or copy it from Local Disk (C) to the USB flash drive.Example:You have adjusted everything you want to measure the signal of interest, and you are satisfied. And you want to save the Setup on Local Disk (C).Press:(Storage) -> (Save Setup) -> (Local Disk (C)) -> (File Name [hint -> the numbering is automatic] -> RigolDS1) -> (Save) -> (Menu off)The setup is now saved.To clear the screen and functions -> press -> (Default)Note that everything has been restored to factory defaults.To reload the setup, press:(Storage) -> (Load Setup) -> (Local Disk (C)) -> (choose the setup of your interest from the list of *.stp) -> (tap on it) -> (Load)If you used GI or G2, you will need to tap on its button, and it will restore the data...Translated with Google Translate.Good luck.
