Trigger Holdoff
Trigger holdoff can be used to stabilize the display of complex waveforms (such as
pulse series). The holdoff time is the delay 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 holdoff time has a range from 100 ns to 10 s.
