<function>
The source function to which this setting applies:
• Current: CURRent
•
Voltage: VOLTage
<n>
The delay in seconds (0 to 10 ks)
Details
This command sets a delay for the selected source function. This delay is in addition to normal
settling times.
After the programmed source is turned on, this delay allows the source level to settle before a
measurement is made.
If you set a specific source delay (smu.source.delay), source autodelay is turned off.
When source autodelay is turned on, the manual source delay setting is overwritten with the
autodelay setting.
When either a source delay or autodelay is set, the delay is applied to the first source output and then
only when the magnitude of the source changes.
If you send this command without the <function> parameter, it sets the delay for all functions.
Example
SOUR:VOLT:DEL DEF
Set the delay for the voltage source to the
default value.
