Details
Once the timer is enabled, each time the timer is triggered, it uses this delay period.
Assigning a value to this attribute is equivalent to:
trigger.timer[
N
].delaylist = {
interval
}
This creates a delay list of one value.
Reading this attribute returns the delay interval that will be used the next time the timer is triggered.
If you use the trigger timer with a trigger model, make sure the trigger timer delay is set so that the
readings are paced correctly.
Example
trigger.timer[1].delay = 50e-6
Set the trigger timer 1 to delay for 50 µs.

trigger.timer[N].delaylist
This attribute sets an array of timer intervals.

Details
Each time the timer is triggered after it is enabled, it uses the next delay period from the array. The
default value is an array with one value of 10 µs.
After all elements in the array have been used, the delays restart at the beginning of the list.
If the array contains more than one element, the average of the delay intervals in the list must be
≥
50 µs.
