Remote Command
:TRIGger[:SEQuence]:ATRigger <time>
:TRIGger[:SEQuence]:ATRigger?
Example
:TRIG:ATR:STAT ON
:TRIG:ATR 100 ms
Notes The "time that the instrument will wait" starts when the instrument is ready for a trigger, which may be
hundreds of ms after the data acquisition for a sweep is done. The "time" ends when the trigger
condition is satisfied, not when the delay ends

8.6.3 Holdoff Type
Enables you to set the Trigger Holdoff Type.
NOTE
Holdoff Type is not supported by all measurements. If the current measurement
does not support it, this control does not appear, and Holdoff Type is Normal. If
Holdoff Type SCPI is sent while in such a measurement, the SCPI is accepted
and the setting remembered, but it has no effect until a measurement is in force
that supports Holdoff Type.
Trigger Holdoff Type functionality
NORMal
This is the “oscilloscope” type of trigger holdoff and is the setting when the Holdoff
Type control does not appear. In this type of holdoff, no new trigger will be accepted
until the holdoff interval has expired after the previous trigger
ABOVe
If the trigger slope is positive, a trigger event is generated only if the signal
characteristic of interest crosses the trigger threshold (with positive slope) and then
remains above the threshold for at least the holdoff time. For negative slope, the
trigger event is generated if the signal characteristic crosses the threshold (with
negative slope) after having been above the threshold for at least the holdoff time. In
either case, the trigger event is associated with the time the level was crossed
BELow
If the trigger slope is positive, a trigger event is generated only if the signal
characteristic of interest crosses the trigger threshold (with positive slope) after
