Channel Delay
You can control the pace of a scan sweep by inserting a delay between
multiplexer channels in the scan list (useful for high-impedance or high-
capacitance circuits). The delay is inserted between the relay closure and
the actual measurement on the channel. The programmed channel delay
overrides the default channel delay that the instrument automatically
adds to each channel.
• You can set the channel delay to any value between 0 seconds and 60
seconds, with 1 ms resolution. You can select a different delay for
each channel. The default channel delay is automatic; the instrument
determines the delay based on function, range, integration time, and
AC filter setting (
see “Automatic Channel Delays” on the next page ).
• The
MEASure?
and
CONFigure
commands set the channel delay to
automatic. A Factory Reset (
*RST
command) also sets the channel
delay to automatic.
