ROUTe:CHANnel:DELay {<seconds> | MIN | MAX} [, (@<ch_list>)]
ROUTe:CHANnel:DELay? [{(@<ch_list>) | MIN | MAX}]
Adds a delay between channels in the scan list (useful for high-impedance or high-capacitance circuits). The delay is
inserted between the relay closure and the actual measurement on each channel, in addition to any delay that will
implicitly occur due to relay settling time. The programmed channel delay overrides the default channel delay that
the instrument automatically adds to each channel.
You can select a unique delay for each channel on the module, except DAQM907A multifunction module.
Channel delay value is ignored for any channels on the DAQM907A multifunction module.
Parameter Typical return
<seconds> = A number from 0 to 60, with 1 ms resolution
Default: Automatic
+1.00000000E+00
Adds a 2-second channel delay to a specific channel: ROUT:CHAN:DEL 2,(@103,113)
– The instrument determines the delay based on function, range, integration time, and AC filter setting.
– The channel delay is valid only while scanning. If no channels have been assigned to the scan list (see
ROUTe:SCAN command), the specified channel delay is ignored (no error is generated).
– To ensure you are getting the most accurate measurements possible, use care when setting the channel delay
less than the default value (automatic). The default channel delay is designed to optimize parameters, such as set-
tling time, for the most accurate measurements.
– The CONFigure and MEASure? commands set the channel delay to automatic.
– The instrument sets the channel delay to automatic after a Factory Reset (*RST command).
