Use the trigger holdoff time to delay the trigger system for a specified amount of time between triggers, or
click Auto to let the instrument calculate the time for you. You can also set the holdoff to a Level that
synchronizes the instrument with an incoming signal to generate a stable display and avoid triggering on
undesired events. When you click on the trigger window controls, the trigger graphic
