A/C ripple test snap on scope

So I just have a question about scope set up for checking a/c role ripple at the B+ post of the alternator. Should I be using peak detect? It seems that most alternators look a lot worse with peak detect on and I feel that if an alternator was bad enough to cause a drive ability fault that I should be able to see it fail without peak detect on. Just curious about what the proper scope settings should be. Thanks

For automotive work generally turn peak detect off there are so many spikes
