)
seconds
The number of seconds to delay (0 to 100,000 s)
Details
The instrument delays execution of the commands for at least the specified number of seconds and
fractional seconds. However, the processing time may cause the instrument to delay 5
μs to 10 μs
(typical) more than the requested delay.
Example
beeper.beep(0.5, 2400)
delay(0.250)
