If you need to set up the trigger model to wait for an event under some conditions but not others, you
can use a branch block. For information, see
(on page 8-37).
Constant delay block
When trigger model execution reaches a delay block, it stops normal measurement and trigger model
operation for the time set by the delay. Background measurements continue to be made, and if any
previously executed block started infinite measurements, they also continue to be made.
This delay waits for the delay time to elapse before proceeding to the next block in the trigger model.
If other delays have been set, this delay is in addition to the other delays.
When you select the Constant Delay block, the following option is available.
Setting
Description
Delay
The amount of time to delay in seconds.
Dynamic delay block
When trigger model execution reaches a dynamic delay block, it stops normal measurement and
trigger model operation for the time set by the delay. Background measurements continue to be
made.
Each measure function can have up to five unique user delay times (M1 to M5). Each source function
can also have up to five unique user delay times (S1 to S5). The delay time is set by the user-delay
command, which is only available over a remote interface. If you are using SCPI, the user delay
commands are
[:SENSe[1]]:<function>:DELay:USER<n>
(on page 12-47)
:SOURce[1]:<function>:DELay:USER<n>
(on page 12-75). If you are using TSP, they are
(on page 14-149) and
(on page 14-176).
This delay can be different for every index in a configuration list. This makes it possible to have a
delay that changes as a configuration list progresses.
When you select the Dynamic Delay block, the following option is available.
Setting
Description
User Delay
The user delay to recall.
