Responding to: ???'s previous message
The later generation of analog oscilloscopes, including, BTW, that 24xx series from TEK, of which I have the latest-greatest version, though extremely capable and flexible, are not as convenient to operate as the earlier 4xx-series. ...
Current-generation instruments ... don't consider that you have to spend lots of time looking at menus and buttons rather than at the waveform display.

The term 'user interface' used to mean 'convenience' now it means "giving access to features you do not need making it necessary to make access to features you do need inconvenient"
