You can change the pen to any one of seven colors or toggle it off if you want to change the pen location without drawing a line. The rightmost softkey is labeled "Shake" and erases the drawing. Press any key to exit this Easter Egg. It appears that the "sketches" survive if you reopen the Easter Egg as long as you don't power cycle the scope.
My DSO-X 3034A was just delivered yesterday, and I found another Easter Egg: Go to the menu level where Dave showed us how to display the developers' names, but instead of pressing the #6 softkey four times, press the #5 softkey four times. You will get the "Etch-A-Scope" where you can draw on the screen using the Channel 1 position control for the X and the Channel 2 position control for the Y.
Hopefully you find something cool like Snake, but you could always program snake in to a micrococtroller and use the DACs on it to output to the scope and play Snake like that. :p

If you pull the mains cord out of the wall, a screen saver will appear that is guaranteed to prevent internal damage to the display of every type.

Well a quick Google search revealed nothing. :(
Maybe you could contact the people listed in this easter egg for more; like some sort of treasure hunt.
