[:SOUR[c]]:WAIT[:STAT] mode
[:SOUR[c]]:WAIT[:STAT]?
Enables or disables the source wait time 
for the specified channel. This wait time 
is defined as the time the source channel 
cannot change the output after the start of 
a DC output or the trailing edge of a 
pulse.
mode=0 or OFF disables the source wait 
time. The wait time is set to 0.
mode=1 or ON enables the source wait 
time given by the following formula.
• [:SOUR[c]]:WAIT:AUTO ON|1 
condition:
wait time = gain  initial wait time + 
offset
• [:SOUR[c]]:WAIT:AUTO OFF|0 
condition:
wait time = offset
The initial wait time is automatically set 
by the instrument and cannot be changed.
