Description
This command sets the delay period between receipt of the trigger and the start of the
measurement. If a trigger period is specified by this command then the
TRIGger:DELay:AUTOmatic function is automatically turned off. The delay period
value set by this command remains set until a new value is entered or the multimeter is
reset.
The period values are accurate down to 150
µ
s. If a value below 150
µ
s is specified,
the actual delay is approximately 67
µ
s for MINimum aperture time and 82
µ
s for all
other aperture times.
A delay between measurements in a burst can be set using the SAMPle:TIMer
command.
