Channel delay
– 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
– You can select a unique delay for every channel on the module.
– The channel delay is valid only while scanning. If no channels have been
assigned to the scan list, the specified channel delay is ignored (no error is
generated).
– To ensure you are getting the most accurate measurements possible, use care
when setting the channel delay less than the default value (automatic). The
default channel delay is designed to optimize parameters, such as settling
time, for the most accurate measurements.
– The

commands set the channel delay to automatic.
A Factory Reset (
*RST
command) also sets the channel delay to automatic.
