When either a source delay or autodelay is set, the delay is applied to the first source output and then
only when the magnitude of the source changes.
If you send this command without the
<function>
parameter, it sets the delay for all functions.
Example
SOUR:VOLT:DEL DEF Set the delay for the voltage source to the
default value.
Also see
:SOURce[1]:<function>:DELay:AUTO (on page 12-74)
:SOURce[1]:<function>:DELay:AUTO
This command enables or disables the automatic delay that occurs when the source is turned on.
Type Affected by Where saved Default value
Command and query Recall settings
Instrument reset
Power cycle
Source configuration list Save settings
Source configuration list 1 (ON)
Usage
:SOURce[1]:<function>:DELay:AUTO <state>
:SOURce[1]:<function>:DELay:AUTO?
<function> The source function to which this setting applies:

Current:
CURRent

Voltage:
VOLTage
<state> Disable the source auto delay:
OFF
or
0
Enable the source auto delay:
ON
or
1
Details
When autodelay is turned on, the actual delay that is set depends on the range.
When source autodelay is on, if you set a source delay, the autodelay is turned off.
When source autodelay is on, the manual source delay setting is overwritten with the autodelay
setting.
The delay is applied to the first source output and then only when the magnitude of the source
changes.
Example
SOUR:CURR:DEL:AUTO OFF Turn off auto delay when current is being
sourced.
