8 Hold (=trigger) functions
The hold function is used to hold a certain measurement value while a certain
sampling period. After the sampling period has passed this value is displayed and
applied at the analog output. The possible methods are "Average", "Peak to Peak"
(=maximum-minimum), "Sample", "Bottom" and "Peak". The sampling period is
determined either by an external signal at the Timing Input (purple wire, and menu
setting "Ext-In" set to "TimRSt") or by a period determined by the measurement value
while it is below or above a certain threshold level (setting "Trig" to "Self-Up" or "Self-
Dn" and the threshold level value under "Self-Level").
The 5 different hold modes are:
If you have activated one of the HOLD functions and the digital "Timing" input you
can press the "up-arrow" key in "RUN" mode in order to simulate an active signal at
the timing input:
