Delay Factor
After applying a voltage or current, the instrument waits for a delay time before making a
measurement. The delay time allows for source settling. The Delay Factor adjusts the delay time for
the selected speed. It is fixed for Fast, Normal, and Quiet speeds. If you select Custom Speed, you
can enter a factor from 0 to 100.
The applied delay time is a multiple of the default delay time. The Delay Factor specifies this multiple.
That is:
Applied delay time = (Default delay time)
×
(Delay Factor)
For example, if the default delay time is 1 ms and the Delay Factor is 0.7, the actual applied delay
time is 0.7 ms (1 ms × 0.7).
