6.13 Setting the Hold-off Time
1. Press the HOLD OFF key to display the hold-off time setting menu.
2. Turn the rotary knob to set the desired hold-off time. You can also use
the < or > keys. Turning the rotary knob switches the “Mode” ON
automatically.
3. To deactivate the hold-off function, press the “Mode” soft key and
select “OFF”.
Explanation
Hold-off time setting
The hold-off time setting range is 0.2 µs to 9.999 s.
The hold-off time will be 0.2 µs (minimum) if initialization is performed or if hold-off mode
has been turned “OFF”.
Turning the hold-off function ON/OFF
The hold-off time which has been set will be retained even if the hold-off function is set to
OFF. If the hold-off function is switched ON again, the hold-off time which was in effect
before the hold-off function was switched OFF will be restored.
Points to note when setting the hold-off time
• If the hold-off time has been set to 100 ms or more, do not switch the trigger mode to
auto-mode or auto-level mode. No trigger can be activated properly, as this conflicts with
the time-out period (100 ms).
• The waveform updating interval may get longer depending on the hold-off time. In this
case, switch the hold-off function OFF or change the hold-off time.
