:TRIGger:HOLDoff
Command
:TRIGger:HOLDoff <holdoff_time>
Description
The command specifies the amount of time the digitizer should wait after
receiving a trigger before enabling the trigger again. This is the behavior
for the holfoff type NORMal. The behavior of the trigger holdoff time can
be further modified by setting the holdoff type to ABOVe and BELow using
the :TRIGger:HOLDoff:TYPE command.
<holdoff_time> The holdoff time in seconds as a floating point number. It is
the same for all trigger sources.
Query
:TRIGger:HOLDoff?
The query returns the current holdoff time.
Returned Format
[:TRIGger:HOLDoff] <holdoff_time><NL>
: TRIGger:HOLDoff:TYPE
Command
:TRIGger:HOLDoff:TYPE {NORMal | ABOVe | BELow}
Description
The command selects the trigger holdoff type. This setting defines how the
holdoff time is used. It is the same for all trigger sources.
NORMal The trigger event is generated, when the holdoff time has elapsed
after the last trigger event and the signal characteristic of interest crosses
the threshold with the slope defined in the :TRIGger:EDGE:SLOPe
command.
ABOVe This setting is only defined for negative slope. The trigger event is
generated, if the signal characteristic of interest crosses the threshold
(with negative slope) after having been above the threshold for at least the
holdoff time. The trigger event is associated with the time the level was
crossed.
BELow This setting is only defined for positive slope. The trigger event is
generated, if the signal characteristic of interest crosses the trigger
threshold (with positive slope) after having been below the threshold for at
least the holdoff time. The trigger event is associated with the time the
level was crossed.
Query
:TRIGger:HOLDoff:TYPE?
The query returns the current setting for the holdoff type.
Returned Format
[:TRIGger:HOLDoff:TYPE] { NORMal | ABOVe | BELow }<NL>
