To my limited knowledge, there are two features of a DSO that are not available on an analog scope

I can think of a lot more than two :)

Second, the Auto button which will analyze the signal and set the t/div and V/div automatically.  Will it always be the exact setting you need?  Probably not...  But it will get the scope out of some squirrelly setup used previously and get a trace on the screen.

Some setups are so squirrelly you need to do a preset before you do an autoset :).  One of the first things I learned as a field applications engineer was to start every demonstration by showing how the preset button works ….

And the trigger suite to make the best use of it with ?
Of course not.  I was just offering a fact check.
