TRIGger[1]|2:DELay:AUTO <boolean>
This command is used to determine whether or not there is a
settling- time delay before a measurement is made.
When this command is set to:
• ON, the power meter inserts a settling- time delay before taking the
requested measurement. This settling time allows the internal digital
filter to be updated with new values to produce valid, accurate
measurement results. The trigger with delay command allows settling
time for the internal amplifiers and filters. It does not allow time for
power sensor delay.
In cases of large power changes, the delay may not be sufficient for
complete settling. Accurate readings can be assured by taking two
successive measurements for comparison.
• OFF, the power meter makes the measurement immediately a trigger is
received.
TRIGger[1]|2:DELay:AUTO is ignored if TRIGger[1]|2[:IMMediate] is
set to ON.
