Okay, one more. Using the measurements settings I can have it measure peak and rms values plus a number of other things. They line up along the bottom edge of the screen. How do you turn them off. Say I have RMS selected but want to turn it of?? Pushing the button again just tells you it's already enabled???
You.. basically can't. You can push them off the screen, or remove all of them (sort of), but not individually remove them. At least not via any obvious method I've found.
It's not obvious and I think it's a bug but here's how:
1) Measure --> Clear --> All Items
This will take them all off the display but if you turn any one back on the old ones will appear grayed out. So, don't do that, instead:
2) Turn off the 'scope and turn it back on again.
Now add a measurement item and it will appear all by itself left-justified on the bottom line.

There is no bug. Whether you like it or not, it's just a feature Rigol has implemented to try to offer easier access to often-used measurements without having to, for example, page through 4 menus while trying to locate a specific Vertical or Horizontal measurement for a second time in a session.
You delete individual measurements by using
Measure -> Clear -> ItemX -> DeleteIt will then grey-out that measurement, and you can use
Measure -> Clear -> ItemX -> Recover to restore it if you want. If you add new measurements, the greyed-out ones will slowly be pushed off screen.
This system means that you can get back quickly to a measurement you previously used during the current session, if you've cleared the screen of the bottom measurements for awhile.
