Delay Property

Syntax

CWIMAQPulse.Delay

Data Type

Double

Purpose

Interval before the pulse.

Remarks

The amount of time, in units specified by the Units property, before the pulse is asserted for Width units. If SignalSource is cwimaqImmediate, it specifies that the delay interval begins immediately after you call CWIMAQ.Configure, CWIMAQ.AcquireImage, or CWIMAQ.Start. Otherwise, the Delay interval begins after the signal source is asserted.

Example

Private Sub Run_Click()
    Dim pulse1 As CWIMAQPulse
    Dim signal1 As CWIMAQSignal
    ' Add a signal
    Set signal1 = CWIMAQ1.Signals.Add
    
    ' Set the signal object to generate a pulse
    ' on external line 0.
    signal1.Action = cwimaqGeneratePulse
    signal1.Line = cwimaqExternal
    signal1.LineNumber = 0
    
    ' Add a pulse.
    Set pulse1 = CWIMAQ1.Pulses.Add
    
    ' Set the pulse to have a width of 1 second
    ' after the initial delay of 1 seconds.
    ' The pulse is generated immediately after
    ' RTSI 3 is asserted.
    pulse1.Action = cwimaqSingle
    pulse1.Delay = 1#
    pulse1.Width = 1#
    pulse1.SignalSource = cwimaqRTSILine
    pulse1.SignalLineNumber = 3
    pulse1.SignalPolarity = cwimaqActiveHigh
    pulse1.Units = cwimaqPulseUnitSeconds

    ' Set this pulse1 as the pulse1 that the signal1
    ' object generates
    Set signal1.pulse = pulse1
End Sub
