After a trigger event, the instrument will not accept another trigger event until after the holdoff value is exceeded. Holdoff is
usually specified in units of time, but other units may be used.
Trigger holdoff (Random)
When Trigger Holdoff is set to Random, the instrument delays the trigger a random amount of time between triggers. This means
that successive acquisitions are unrelated to the previous trigger signal.
Trigger holdoff (Time)
After a trigger event, the instrument will not accept another trigger event until after the holdoff value is exceeded. Holdoff is
usually specified in units of time, but other units can be used.
When the Trigger Holdoff is set to Time, you can manually adjust the value with the multipurpose knob. Use this option when the
signal that you want to trigger on has several possible trigger points. Use the Trigger Holdoff control to delay the trigger system
for a specified amount of time between triggers so that you can obtain a stable display.
