Agilent Infiniium 90000 Series Oscilloscopes Programmer's Reference 837
:TRIGger:HOLDoff:MAX
Command
:TRIGger:HOLDoff:MAX <holdoff_time>
This command is only used when you set the :TRIGger:HOLDoff:MODe
command to RANDom. The RANDom mode varies the trigger holdoff from
one acquisition to another by randomizing the time values between
triggers. The randomized values can be between the values specified by the
:TRIGger:HOLDoff:MAX and :TRIGger:HOLDoff:MIN commands.
The Random holdoff mode ensures that the oscilloscope re- arms after each
acquisition in a manner that minimizes or eliminates the likelihood of
triggering at the beginning of a DDR burst. Randomizing the holdoff
increases the likelihood that the oscilloscope will trigger on different data
phases of a multiphase (8 data transfer) burst. This mode mixes up the
traffic pattern the oscilloscope triggers on and is very effective when used
on repeating patterns.
<holdoff_time>
A real number for the maximum random holdoff time.
Query
:TRIGger:HOLDoff:MAX?
The query returns the current maximum holdoff value for the random
holdoff mode.
Returned Format
[:TRIGger:HOLDoff:MAX] <holdoff><NL>
