Clearing All DEFKEYs

A typical response returned by the above program is: "DCI 1;AZERO OFF;NPLC
0." If nothing is assigned to DEFKEY 1, the above program returns: "DEFKEY
F1."
The DELAY command allows you to specify a time interval that is inserted
between the trigger event and the first sample event.
DELAY [time]
time
Specifies the delay time in seconds. Delay time can range from 1E-7 (100 ns) to
6000 seconds in 10ns increments for direct- or sub-sampling (DSAC, DSDC,
SSAC, or SSDC) or 100 ns increments for all other measurement functions.
Specifying 0 for the delay sets the delay to its minimum possible value.
Power-on time = automatic (determined by function, range, resolution and
ACBAND setting).
Default time = automatic (determined by function, range, resolution and
ACBAND setting).
•
The default delay changes automatically (unless you have specified an alternate
value) whenever you change the measurement function (DCV, ACV, etc.), the
range, the resolution, or the AC bandwidth setting (ACBAND command).
•
Query Command. The DELAY? query returns the present delay time in
seconds. Refer to "Query Commands" near the front of this chapter for more
information.
