TRIGger[:SEQuence[1]]:DELay:AUTO <boolean> 
This command is used to determine whether or not there is a settling-time delay 
before a measurement is made. 
When this command is set to:
– ON, the U8480 Series inserts a settling-time delay before taking the requested 
measurement and for subsequent measurements. This settling time allows the 
internal digital filter to be updated with new values to produce valid, accurate 
measurement results. The trigger with delay command allows settling time for 
the internal amplifiers and filters. 
– In cases of large power changes, the delay may not be sufficient for complete 
settling. Accurate readings can be assured by taking two successive 
measurements for comparison.
– OFF, no settling-time delay is inserted and the U8480 Series makes the 
measurement immediately once a trigger is received.
