COMMAND :TRIGger[SEQuence | STARt]:HOLDoff . . . <numeric_value>

When INIT:CONT is ON, this command determines the rate at which

measurements are made by setting a delay between measurements.

Its setting corresponds to the front-panel rate setting as follows:

<NUMERIC_VALUE>

RATE

0.0 = FAST; 0.5 = MEDium; 1.0 = SLOW

COMMENTS • *RST: 0.0

• The only settings that are accepted are the three listed above.

• The measurement rate is also affected by the Resolution setting.

• When INIT:CONT is OFF, the holdoff has no effect.

• There is no setting for this command that corresponds to the front-

panel rate setting of HOLD. The HOLD mode is entered through *RST

or INIT:CONT OFF. The instrument then stops making measurements

until it is triggered or until it receives INIT:CONT ON.
