• The trigger delay is the period between the trigger signal and the

start of the measurement (burst). The trigger delay set by

CONFigure is 0 seconds for the DC voltage function. The

TRIGger:DELay command is used to set delays up to 16.7 seconds.

• CONFigure sets the sample source such that there is a minimum

delay (sample rate) between measurements in a burst, and a burst

size of 1. The sample rate and burst size are changed with the

SAMPle:SOURce, SAMPle:TIMer, and SAMPle:COUNt commands.

SAMPle:SOURce selects the source which sets the sample rate.

SAMPle:TIMer sets the rate, and SAMPle:COUNt sets the number of

readings in the burst.

• The multimeter output buffer can hold eight readings. When the

buffer fills, measurements are suspended until readings are read from

the buffer (by the computer) to make space available.
