Command Syntax :TIMebase:DELay <delay_value>

<delay_value> ::= time in seconds from trigger to the delay reference point on the screen.

The valid range for delay settings depends on the time/division setting for the main time base.

The :TIMebase:DELay command sets the main time base delay. This delay is the time between the trigger event and the delay reference point on the screen. The delay reference point is set with the :TIMebase:REFerence command (see page 307).

N O T E	The :TIMebase:DELay command is obsolete and is provided for backward compatibility to
	previous oscilloscopes. Use the :TIMebase:POSition command (see page 305) instead.
