EVENTS sets the delayed trigger to occur after a set number of trigger events after
the main trigger. The number of events is specified by
TRIGger:DELay:EVENTS:COUNt.
TIMe sets the delayed trigger to be ready to occur a set time after the main trigger
event. The time period is specified by TRIGger:DELay:TIMe.
EVENTSTime (TDS 5XXA, 6XXA, & 7XXA only) sets a specified time after a
specified number of delay trigger trigger events — after the main trigger event.
For example in examining a pulse train, you might use the main trigger to detect
the start of the train, then use the delay by events to go to the position of interest
within the pulse train, and then use the time delay to wait a specified time period
before starting the data acquisition.
RUNSAfter (TDS 5XXA, 6XXA, & 7XXA only) looks for a main trigger, then
waits a user-specified time, then starts acquiring data.
