Setup Holdoff Level 
Background 
The holdoff function defines the waiting period 
before the GDS-2000A starts triggering again after 
a trigger point. The holdoff function ensures a 
stable display if there are a number points in a 
periodic waveform that can be triggered. Holdoff 
applies to all the triggering types.
