Sleep Mode

The instrument can be configured to enter a low power state in between taking samples. The
instrument will only enter sleep mode if the sleep and sampling settings are configured so that
the sample period is longer than the minimum sleep time. By default the minimum time the
instrument is allowed to sleep is 40 seconds plus a 5 second delay after taking the sample.
Sleep mode is also compatible with Burst Mode.
Equation 2: Min Sleep Time + Sleep Delay
Equation 3: Min Sleep Time + Sleep Delay
Example 1:
Minimum Sleep Time = 40 s (default)
Sleep Delay = 5 s (default)
