SECTION 4
IEEE-488 Reference
4.2.21 w
- Delay
Purpose
Use to set trigger delay time.
Format
Wn
Parameters
Wn Delay trigger by “n” seconds, where “n” = 0 to 999.999 seconds
Default
Upon power-up or after a DCL or SDC command is received over the bus, the instrument re-
turns to the trigger delay saved as the default condition.
Description
The delay co
mmand controls the time interval that occms from the point the instrument is trig-
gered until it begins integration of the input signal. This feature is useful in situations where a
specific time period must transpire to allow an input signal to settle before measurement.
Programming
Example
E”7amples:
For a delay of 6Osec, send W6OX
For a delay of Zmsec, send W.OOZX or WZE-3X (exponent form)
OUTPUT 722; ‘W25OEZ”
! 25Omsec delay
