Description
The ***D command creates a file in the instrument and sets the instrument into the Delayed Start
mode of the Run operating mode if a valid delayed start time and date have been entered. In De-
layed Start mode the instrument turns on and acquires and saves data to the file in the Continuous
or Interval mode of the Run operating mode beginning at the time specified by the DTIME com-
mand and date specified by the DDATE command. Data are recorded at the sample rate set by the
SRATE command.
In Continuous mode, data are acquired continuously.
For the instrument to acquire data in Interval mode, valid interval and on times must have been en-
tered. In Interval mode data are acquired at the beginning of each interval time as set by the ITIME
command for the on time as set by the OTIME command. The instrument turns off at the end of
each on time.
