Description

Specifies the time (in seconds) that the DMM waits after it has received a trigger before taking a measurement. The default value is AUTO DELAY (-1), which means that the DMM waits an appropriate settling time before taking the measurement. (–1) signifies that AUTO DELAY is on, and (–2) signifies that AUTO DELAY is off.

The NI 4065 and NI 4070/4071/4072 use the value specified in this attribute as additional settling time. For the The NI 4065 and NI 4070/4071/4072, the valid range for Trigger Delay is AUTO DELAY (-1) or 0.0-149.0 seconds and the onboard timing resolution is 34.72 ns.

On the NI 4060, if this attribute is set to 0, the DMM does not settle before taking the measurement. On the NI 4060, the valid range for AUTO DELAY (-1) is 0.0-12.0 seconds and the onboard timing resolution is 100 ms.

When using the NI 4050, this attribute must be set to AUTO DELAY (-1).

Use positive values to set the trigger delay in seconds.
