Usage
[:SOURce[n]]:DELay <value>
[:SOURce[n]]:DELay?
Channel number: For single-channel instruments, the value is 1
Delay: 0 to 99 s. Resolution 0.00001 s.
Details
This command sets a delay for the source. After the programmed source is turned on, this delay
allows the source level to settle before a measurement is taken. For details, refer to Source delay (on
page 3-7).
This delay is the same for both the current and voltage source. Delay time must be either zero or a
positive value. If you attempt to set it to a negative value, an error -222, "Data out of range" is
generated.
Example
Set the delay for the output source to 50 ms.
