Trigger Holdoff
Trigger holdoff could trigger complicated waveforms (e.g. pulse sequence) stably.
Holdoff time is the time the oscilloscope waits to re-enable the trigger module.
Within the holdoff time, the oscilloscope will not trigger even if the triggering
conditions are met. The oscilloscope will not re-enable the trigger module until the
holdoff time expires.
For example, to stably trigger the repeat pulse series as shown in the figure below,
the holdoff time should be set to a value greater than T1 and lower than T2.
Press MENU (in the trigger control area (TRIGGER) on the front panel)  Setting
 Holdoff and use or the inner knob of the navigation knob to adjust the
holdoff time (the default is 100 ns) with a small step value, or use the outer knob of
the navigation knob
to quickly adjust the holdoff time within a relatively larger
range until the waveform triggers stably. (The greater the rotation amplitude of the
outer knob, the faster the variations in the values.) The available range of the holdoff
time for adjustment is from 100 ns to 10 s.
Note: The holdoff setting is disabled for video trigger, RS232 trigger, I2C trigger, SPI
trigger, CAN trigger, FlexRay trigger, and USB trigger.
