Setup Holdoff Level 
 
The holdoff function defines the waiting period 
before the GDS-3000 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.
