:TRIGger:BLOCk:DELay:CONStant
This command adds a constant delay to the execution of a trigger model.
Type Affected by Where saved Default value
Command only Recall settings
Instrument reset
Save settings Not applicable
Usage
:TRIGger:BLOCk:DELay:CONStant <blockNumber>, <time>
The sequence of the block in the trigger model
The amount of time to delay (167 ns to 10 ks or 0 for no delay)
Details
When trigger model execution reaches a delay block, it stops normal measurement and trigger model
operation for the time set by the delay. Background measurements continue to be made, and if any
previously executed block started infinite measurements, they also continue to be made.
This delay waits for the delay time to elapse before proceeding to the next block in the trigger model.
If other delays have been set, this delay is in addition to the other delays.

INIT
Create configuration lists named ampLevel
and biasLevel.
Set the source function to 5 V and the
measurement function to current.
Store the settings in the ampLevel
configuration list at index 1.
Set the voltage level to 0 V.
Store the setting in the biasLevel
configuration list at index 1.
Set block 1 to turn the source output on.
Set block 2 to recall the ampLevel settings
from index 1.
Set block 3 to provide a constant delay of
0.1 s.
Set block 4 to make a measurement.
Set block 5 to recall the biasLevel settings
at index 1.
Set block 6 to provide a constant delay of
0.2 s.
Set block 7 to repeat block 2 nineteen times.
