Usage
:TRIGger:BLOCk:DELay:CONStant <blockNumber>, <time>
<blockNumber>
The sequence of the block in the trigger model
<time>
The amount of time to delay (167 ns to 10,000 s, or 0 for no delay)
Details
When trigger model execution reaches a delay block, it stops normal measurement and trigger model
operation for the amount of time set by the delay. Background measurements continue to be made,
and if any previously executed block started infinite measurements, they also continue to be made.
This delay waits for the set amount of delay time to elapse before proceeding to the next block in the
trigger model.
If other delays have been set, this delay is in addition to the other delays.

INIT
Create configuration lists named
ampLevel
and
biasLevel
.
Set the source function to 5 V and the
measurement function to current.
Store the settings in the
ampLevel
configuration
list at index 1.
Set the voltage level to 0 V.
Store the setting in the
biasLevel
configuration
list at index 1.
Set block 1 to turn the source output on.
Set block 2 to recall the
ampLevel
settings from
index 1.
Set block 3 to provide a constant delay of 0.1 s.
Set block 4 to make a measurement.
Set block 5 to recall the
biasLevel
settings at
index 1.
Set block 6 to provide a constant delay of 0.2 s.
Set block 7 to repeat block 2 nineteen times.
