SCPI Instrument Command List
Specified limits 0.00 ns to 999 s (limited by period – 20 ns)
Description Use this command to set/read the pulse delay. Delay is the time between
the start of the pulse period and the start of the leading edge of the pulse.
If you want the pulse delay to remain constant when the pulse period is
varied (rather than the phase delay) use
[:SOURce]:PULSe:DELay[1]:HOLD TIME.
Example To set and hold the pulse delay:
Command :PULS:DEL[1]:HOLD
Long
[:SOURce]:PULSe:DELay[1]:HOLD

Description Use this command to set/read the coupling between the pulse period and
the pulse delay:
Example To set and hold the pulse delay:
:PULS:DEL 500NS
:PULS:DEL:HOLD TIME
Set OUTPUT delay to 500 ns
Hold OUTPUT delay constant with varying
period
TIME The absolute pulse delay is held fixed when the
pulse period is varied (pulse phase varies).
PRATio The pulse phase delay (delay as ratio of period) is
held fixed when the pulse period is varied (pulse
delay varies).
:PULS:DEL 500ns
:PULS:DEL:HOLD TIME
Set OUTPUT delay to 500ns
Hold OUTPUT delay constant with varying
period
