Remote command:
Hold Off
Enables the holdoff and defines the holdoff time. The next trigger occurs only after the
holdoff time has passed.
The trigger holdoff defines when the next trigger after the current will be recognized. Thus,
it affects the next trigger to occur after the current one. Holdoff helps to obtain stable
triggering when the oscilloscope is triggering on undesired events.
Remote command:
B-Trigger
Activates or deactivates the second edge trigger event that follows a first edge trigger
event in a trigger sequence. The instrument triggers if both trigger event conditions (A
and B) are fulfilled.
If the B-trigger is activated, the LEVEL rotary knob and the SLOPE key are automatically
assigned to the B-event. You can toggle the assignment of these controls with the "Trigger
Level" setting in the "Trigger" menu.
Remote command:
B-Setup
Opens the menu for B-trigger configuration. The B-trigger is a second edge trigger event
that can be combined with a preceeding edge trigger event. The trigger conditions of this
second event are considered when the conditions of the main event (A-trigger) are met.
For a description of the menu, see
Trigger Level
Assigns the SLOPE key and the LEVEL rotary knob on the front panel to the A- or B-
event. The function is only relevant if the B-trigger is enabled. The SOURCE key sets
always the A-trigger source.
