:TRIGger Commands 
 
The :TRIGger commands are used to set the trigger source type, trigger input edge type and trigger delay 
as well as generate a trigger event. 
 
Command List: 
  :TRIGger[<n>]:DELay 
  :TRIGger[<n>][:IMMediate] 
  :TRIGger[<n>]:SLOPe 
  :TRIGger[<n>]:SOURce 
 
 
:TRIGger[<n>]:DELay 
 
Syntax 
:TRIGger[<n>]:DELay {<seconds>|MINimum|MAXimum} 
:TRIGger[<n>]:DELay? [MINimum|MAXimum] 
 
Description 
Sets the burst delay of the specified channel. 
Queries the burst delay of the specified channel. 
 
Parameter 
 
Remarks 
  Burst delay is only available for N cycle and Infinite burst mode. It is defined as the duration from the 
time when the generator receives the trigger signal to the time when it starts to output the N Cycle (or 
Infinite) burst. 
  For the N cycle burst or Infinite burst in the external trigger or manual trigger mode 
(
[:SOURce[<n>]]:BURSt:TRIGger:SOURce), the range of <delay> is 0 s to 100 s. 
  For the N cycle burst in the internal trigger mode, the range of <delay> is from 0 s to 
(
2us−×−
cyclewaveformburst
NPP
), and its range should be smaller than or equal to 100 s. 
Wherein, 
  ——burst period; 
  ——waveform period (i.g. the period of the burst function (Sine, Square, etc)); 
  ——number of cycles. 
  When [<n>] is omitted, the system sets the burst delay of CH1 by default. 
 
Return Format 
The query returns the burst delay in scientific notation, with 7 effective digits. For example, 1.000000E+00 
(the burst delay is 1 s). 
 
Example 
:TRIG:DEL 1    /*Sets the burst delay of CH1 to 1 s.*/ 
:TRIG:DEL?    /*Queries the burst delay of CH1 and the query returns 1.000000E+00.*/
