Comments •
MIN
selects the minimum delay of 0 seconds for DC voltage and resistance
measurements or 0.5 seconds for AC voltage measurements.
MAX selects the
maximum delay of 16.777215 seconds for all functions.
• For the stand-alone multimeter, the trigger delay is inserted between the trigger
and the first measurement of a burst. For the scanning multimeter, the trigger
delay is inserted between the trigger and the first channel in each scan.
• If a trigger delay is specified using the TRIG:DEL <period>,
TRIGger:DELay:AUTO is turned OFF.
• You can set a delay between measurements in a burst using the SAMPle:TIMer
command.
• *RST Condition: DC volts/resistance: 0 seconds;
AC volts: 0.5 seconds.
Example Setting the Trigger Delay
TRIG:DEL 2 !Wait 2 seconds between trigger and start of
scan.
:DELay?
TRIGger:DELay? [MIN | MAX] returns one of the following numbers to the output
buffer:
The present trigger delay (0 through 16.777215 seconds) if
MIN or MAX is not
specified.
The minimum trigger delay available (0 seconds for DC volts/
resistance; 0.5 seconds for AC volts) if
MIN is specified.
The maximum trigger delay available (16.777215 seconds) if
MAX is specified.
Example Querying the Trigger Delay
TRIG:DEL 2 !Wait 2 seconds between trigger and start of
measurement.
TRIG:DEL? !Query multimeter to return trigger count.
