Usage
channel.setdelay("channelList", delay)
channelList
A string listing the channels for which to add delay time
delay
Delay time for the selected channels; minimum is 0 seconds
Details
Setting a delay only applies to switch channels. An error occurs for a read/write channel such as
digital input/output. The delay being specified by value may be updated based on a card's resolution
for delay. To see if the delay value was modified after setting, use the channel.getdelay()
command to query.
Channel patterns get their delay from the channels that comprise the pattern. Therefore, specify the
delay for a pattern through the channels. A pattern incurs the longest delay of all channels comprising
that pattern.
An error message is generated if:
• The value is an invalid setting for the specified channel
• A channel pattern is specified
• The channel is for an empty slot
• An analog backplane relay is specified
Command processing will stop as soon as an error is detected and no delay times will be modified.
Pseudocards do not replicate the additional delay time.
