This command is used to manually set a delay (settling time) for the source.
After the programmed source is turned on, this delay occurs to allow the
source level to settle before a measurement is taken. Note that this delay is
the same for both the I-Source and V-Source.
Do not confuse this source delay with the trigger delay. The source delay is
part of the device action (SDM cycle) while the trigger delay occurs before
the device action. See Section 10, Trigger model for more information.
Auto delay can instead be used to automatically set the source delay. See the
next command.
<b> = 0 or OFF
1 or ON
:AUTO?
This command is used to enable or disable auto delay. When enabled, the
instrument will automatically select a delay period that is appropriate for the
present source/measure setup configuration. See Table 3-2. *RST and
