Arguments
H TIMe
This enables you to set the holdoff time via the TRIGger:A:HOLD-
off:TIMe command.
H DEFAult
This automatically calculates a holdoff time to use. This time is typi-
cally equivalent to the greater of 1/2 screen (5 divisions) of time or
250 ns. The maximum value is 12 s. For example, if the instrument is
set to 1 ms/division then the default holdoff will be 1 ms/division x 25
divisions = 25 ms.

This query might return
:TRIGGER:A:HOLDOFF:BY TIME
indicating that you will set the holdoff time.
Example 2
