:TRIGger:BLOCk:DELay:CONStant
This command adds a constant delay to the trigger model.
Type Affected by Where saved Default value
Instrument reset
Usage
:TRIGger:BLOCk:DELay:CONStant <blockNumber>, <time>
The sequence of the block in the trigger model
The amount of time to delay (167 ns to 10,000 s, or 0 for no delay)
Details
When trigger model execution reaches a delay block, it stops normal measurement and trigger model
operation for the amount of time set by the delay. Background measurements continue to be made,
and if any previously executed block started infinite measurements, they also continue to be made.
This delay waits for the set amount of delay time to elapse before proceeding to the next block in the
trigger model.
If other delays have been set, this delay is in addition to the other delays.
Example
TRIG:BLOC:BUFF:CLEAR 1
TRIG:BLOC:MEAS 2
TRIG:BLOC:BRAN:COUN 3, 5, 2
TRIG:BLOC:DEL:CONS 4, 1
TRIG:BLOC:BRAN:COUN 5, 3, 2
Reset trigger model settings.
Clear defbuffer1 at the beginning of the
trigger model.
Loop and take 5 readings.
Delay a second.
Loop three more times back to block 2.
At end of execution, 15 readings are stored in
defbuffer1.
