To use this command in a trigger model, assign the delay to the dynamic delay block.
The delay is specific to the selected function.
Example
smu.source.userdelay[1] = 5
trigger.model.setblock(1, trigger.BLOCK_SOURCE_OUTPUT, smu.ON)
trigger.model.setblock(2, trigger.BLOCK_DELAY_DYNAMIC, trigger.USER_DELAY_S1)
trigger.model.setblock(3, trigger.BLOCK_MEASURE)
trigger.model.setblock(4, trigger.BLOCK_SOURCE_OUTPUT, smu.OFF)
trigger.model.setblock(5, trigger.BLOCK_BRANCH_COUNTER, 10, 1)
trigger.model.initiate()
Set user delay for source 1 to 5 s.
Set trigger block 1 to turn the source output on.
Set trigger block 2 to a dynamic delay that calls source user delay 1.
Set trigger block 3 to make a measurement.
Set trigger block 4 to turn the source output off.
