The external signal is continuously measured until the instrument
receives a command via GP-IB.
To invoke continuous measurements again, you have to bring the
instrument in local operating mode by pressing SHIFT (LOCAL) and start
continuous measurement again.
Pulse Delay Parameter
Delay the leading edge of the pulse within the pulse period. There are
three delay formats available:
D
ELAY
or D
BL
D
EL
(select A
BSOLUTE
)
D
ELAY
is the absolute delay from the start of a pulse period to the
start of the leading edge of the pulse.
If double pulses are selected on the Mode/Trigger screen, the D
BL
D
EL
parameter specifies the delay between the first and second pulse in
each pulse period.
The absolute delay is independent of the pulse period. So the leading
edge does not move relative to the start of the period if you change
the period.
D
ELAY
% (select %
OF
P
ERIOD
)
The delay from the start of the pulse period to the start of the leading
edge expressed as a percentage of the pulse period. In this format, if
you change the period, the leading edge moves relative to the start of
the period in order to maintain the percentage delay.
P
HASE
(select P
HASE
)
The phase delay in degrees from the start of the pulse period to the
start of the leading edge (360
°
= 1 pulse period). In this format, if you
change the period, the leading edge moves relative to the start of the
period in order to maintain the phase delay.
