Reference
Holdoff. You ca
n use the Trigger Holdoff function to produce a stable display of
complex waveforms, such as pulse trains. Holdoff is the time between when
the oscilloscope detects one trigger and when it is ready to detect another. The
oscilloscope will not trigger during the holdoff time. For a pulse train, you can
adjust the holdoff time so the oscilloscope triggers only on the first pulse in the
train.
To use Tri
gger Holdoff, push the Horiz ► Set Trigger Holdoff option button
and use the multipurpose k nob to adjust the holdoff. The resolution of the trigger
holdoff varies depending on the horizontal scale setting.
