TRIGger:DELay:AUTO?

Description

<mode>

Boolean

{OFF|0|ON|1}

Automatic

Remarks

  • Selecting a specific trigger delay using the TRIGger:DELay command disables the automatic trigger delay.

  • The default trigger delays for ac measurements do not account for worst case settling delays that can occur when measuring ac signals with large dc offsets. Significant measurement errors may result. Use the TRIGger:DELay command (for stand-alone DMM measurements) or ROUTe:CHANnel:DELay command (for scanned measurements) to allow adequate settling time before the measurement.

  • The CONFigure and MEASure? commands set the trigger delay to Automatic.

  • The instrument clears all readings from memory when the triggering configuration is changed.

  • The instrument enables an automatic trigger delay after a Factory Reset (*RST command). An Instrument Preset (SYSTem:PRESet command) or Card Reset (SYSTem:CPON command) does not change the setting.

Return Format

The query command returns "0" (OFF) or "1" (ON).
