Positive values mean that the Q vector is amplified more than the I vector by the corre-
sponding percentage. Negative values have the opposite effect.

Skew
In the "I/Q Modulator or I/Q Analog > Digital Impairments" dialog, sets a delay between
the Q vector and the I vector of the corresponding stream.
Remote command: 
[:SOURce]:BB:IMPairment:IQOutput<ch>:SKEW on page 805
[:SOURce]:BB:IMPairment:RF<ch>:SKEW on page 805
IQ Delay
In the "I/Q Modulator or I/Q Analog > Digital Impairments" dialog, sets the time delay of
both I and Q vectors relative to the selected trigger and marker.
A positive value means that the I and Q vectors delay relative to the marker/trigger and
the other way around.
