DELAY <time in mS>
Inserts a time delay between the time that a channel is closed and the
time that the next command or Channel Closed pulse is executed.
The delay time may be a value between 0 and 32,767 mS (32 seconds) in
1 mS increments.
The delay time does not become effective until either a CHAN or a STEP is
executed.
If any command is sent to the 3499A/B/C during the delay time, the
command will not be executed until the delay time has completed.
For 44474A digital I/O module, a Channel Closed pulse will be sent after
the delay time is complete (when External Increment enabled).
Executing DELAY with no parameters will read back the current delay
time in mS.
The default delay time is “0” after an instrument power up or reset.
