:DELay? Query the programmed delay
:DELay? DEFault Query the *RST default delay
:DELay? MINimum Query the lowest allowable delay
:DELay? MAXimum Query the largest allowable delay
Short-form formats: :arm:lay2:del? :trig:del?
:arm:lay2:del? xxx :trig:del? xxx
where; xxx = def, min or max
Response message: 0 to 99999.999 (seconds)
These delay periods are used to delay operation in the specified layer (Arm Layer 2 and/or Trig-
ger Layer). After the programmed event occurs, the instrument will wait until the delay period
expires before proceeding on in the Trigger Model.
Note that Arm Layer 1 does not use a Delay.

Line 10 Sets a one second delay for the Trigger Layer, and then queries the programmed delay.
Line 20 Addresses the 7001 to talk.
Line 30 Displays the programmed delay (l).
