TRIGger:DELay {<seconds>|MIN|MAX|DEF}
TRIGger:DELay? [{MIN|MAX|DEF}]
Sets the delay between the trigger signal and the first measurement. This may be useful in applications where you
want to allow the input to settle before taking a measurement or for pacing a burst of measurements.
Selecting a specific trigger delay disables the automatic trigger delay (TRIGger:DELay:AUTO OFF).
For AC measurements (voltage or current), there is a relationship between the bandwidth
setting ([SENSe:]VOLTage:AC:BANDwidth or [SENSe:]CURRent:AC:BANDwidth) and the
default trigger delay setting. This delay ensures that there is sufficient settling time for
the AC measurement. See Automatic Trigger Delays for further information.
Parameter Typical Return
0 to ~3600 seconds (~1 µs steps), default 1 s
Step size for DC measurements is approximately 20 µs.
Step size depends on AC bandwidth for AC
measurements.
+2.00000806E+00
Return five DC voltage measurements. There is a 2 second delay before each measurement.

l Due to internal quantization, the actual delay that you set may be slightly different than your specified value. The
increment is approximately 1 µs. Use the query to determine the exact delay. For example, if you send TRIG:DEL
500 ms and then TRIG:DEL? the actual delay may be +5.00000753E-01.
l By default, TRIGger:DELay:AUTO is ON. The instrument automatically determines the delay based on function,
range and integration time (see Automatic Trigger Delays). However, you may need to set a delay longer than the
automatic delay for long cables, high capacitance or high impedance signals.
l If you specify a trigger delay with this command, that delay is used for all functions (except CONTinuity and
DIODe) and ranges. The CONTinuity and DIODe tests ignore the trigger delay setting.
l If you have configured the instrument for more than one measurement per trigger (SAMPle:COUNt >1), the delay
is inserted after the trigger and between consecutive measurements.
l The instrument selects automatic trigger delay after a Factory Reset (*RST) or an Instrument Preset
(SYSTem:PRESet).
