Multiple Readings with Initial Delay

To manually trigger a batch of 25 readings with 5 second intervals starting 15 seconds after
 is pushed:

DIGITIZE with External Trigger Using Trigger Dividing

Aperture required = 6 µs. Use 10 MHz off-air reference clock divided by 100 to yield trigger
interval of 10 µs to capture 2000 samples.

1 V range
Aperture = 6 µs
Reset the trigger system to defaults
Default setting is TTL, NEGative edge
2000 samples to be captured
One acquisition for every 100 trigger edges
Turn auto delay off
Set Delay to 0.000
Starts the capture and returns the data
The first acquisition starts (ECount -
1) * trigger edge period after the
:READ? command is sent {(100 - 1) *
10 µs = 990 µs}.
