Trigger Holdoff
Trigger holdoff can be used to stably trigger the complex waveforms (such as pulse
series). Holdoff time is the amount of time that the oscilloscope waits before
re-arming the trigger circuitry. The oscilloscope will not trigger until the holdoff time
expires.
Press MENU  Setting  Holdoff in the trigger control area (TRIGGER) at the
front panel and use to modify the holdoff time (the default is 100 ns) until the
waveform triggers stably. The adjustable range of holdoff time is from 100 ns to 10 s.
Note that trigger holdoff is not available for Nth edge trigger, video trigger, RS232
trigger, I2C trigger, SPI trigger and USB trigger.
