Hold time: The delay, in seconds, before a motion event is cleared. The accelerometer waits for this
amount of time to determine if the event is finished. If additional readings above the Threshold value

information related to driver behavior. This mode is used when the Skyus device is installed in a
vehicle and you wish to monitor vehicle operation.
