Trigger Delay You can insert a delay between the trigger signal and each sample that
follows. This may be useful in applications where you want to allow the
input to settle before taking a reading, or for pacing a burst of readings.
If you do not specify a trigger delay, the multimeter automatically
selects a delay for you.
•Delay range: 0 to 3600 seconds. The default trigger delay is
automatic; the delay is determined by function, range, integration tim e,
and ac filter setting (see al so “Automatic Trigger Delays,” on page 81).
•The trigger delay is stored in volatile memory; the multimeter selects
an automatic trigger delay when power has been off or after a remote
interface reset. The CONFigure and MEASure? commands
automatically set the trigger delay to automatic.
•If you specify a delay other than automatic, that same delay is used
for all functions and ranges.
•If you have configured the multimeter to take more than one reading
per trigger (sample count > 1), the specified trigger delay is inserted
between the trigger and each reading.
•Front-Panel Operation: You can use an automatic trigger delay or
you can specify a delay in seconds.
2: TRIG DELAY (TRIG MENU)
If an automatic trigger delay is enabled, “AUTO” is displayed
momentarily before the actual number of seconds is displayed.
