Trigger Holdoff
Trigger holdoff can be used to stabilize the display of 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.
