Holdoff, Variable, Main Trigger Minimum: For any horizontal scale setting, the holdoff is
10 times that setting, but is never less than 1 ms or longer than 5 s.
Maximum: For any horizontal scale setting, the holdoff is at
least 2 times the minimum holdoff for that setting, but is never more
than 10 times the minimum holdoff for that setting.
