:DELAY:TIME:GEN 
Syntax  :DELAY:TIME:GEN {FIX|INC|DEC}[,<value0>[,<value1>]] 
:DELAY:TIME:GEN? 
Description  Set the method used to generate time automatically as well as the corresponding 
on/off delay time or the time base value and step value.  
Query the method used to generate time automatically as well as the corresponding 
parameters.  
Parameter 
Name  Type  Range  Default 
{FIX|INC|DEC}  Discrete  FIX|INC|DEC  FIX 
<value0>  Integer  Refer to the “Explanation”  1s 
<value1>  Integer  Refer to the “Explanation”  1s 
Explanation    When FIX (fixed time) is selected, <value0> and <value1> are used to set the 
on/off delay time and the range is from 1s to 99999s. When both of the 
parameters are omitted, the on/off delay time will be set to 1s; when only one 
of the parameters is omitted, the on delay time will be set.  
  When INC (monotonic increase) or DEC (monotonic decline) is selected, 
<value0> and <value1> are used to set the time base value and step value. 
The time increases or declines gradually from the time base value at the 
specified step to generate time. The two fulfills the relation: time base value + 
number of output groups*step value≤99999s. When both of the two 
parameters are omitted, the time base value and step value will both be set to 
1s; when only one of the parameters is omitted, the time base value will be set. 
Return Format  Fix: the query returns FIX,<value0>,<value1>, for example, FIX,1,2; 
INC: the query returns INC,<value0>,<value1>, for example, INC,2,5; 
DEC: the query returns DEC,<value0>,<value1>, for example, DEC,200,5. 
Example  :DELAY:TIME:GEN INC,2,5 /*Monotonic increase, the time base value is 2s and 
the step is 5s*/ 
:DELAY:TIME:GEN? /*Query the method used to generate time automatically 
and the parameters; the query returns INC,2,5*/
