DELay
DELay
command/query
The DELay command specifies the amount of time between the timing
trigger and the horizontal center of the timing waveform display. The
allowable values for delay are -2500 s to + 2500 s. In glitch acquisition
mode, as delay becomes large in an absolute sense, the sample rate is
adjusted so that data will be acquired in the time window of interest. In
transitional acquisition mode, data may not fall in the time window since
the sample period is fured at 10 ns and the amount of time covered in
memory is dependent on how frequently the input signal transitions occur.
The DELay query returns the current time offset (delay) value from the
trigger.
