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