(see page 798)
Command Syntax
:TIMebase:DELay <delay_value>
<delay_value> ::= time in seconds from trigger to the delay reference
point on the screen.
The valid range for delay settings depends on the time/division
setting for the main time base.
The :TIMebase:DELay command sets the main time base delay. This delay
is the time between the trigger event and the delay reference point on the
screen. The delay reference point is set with the :TIMebase:REFerence
command (see page 473).
Query Syntax
:TIMebase:DELay?
The :TIMebase:DELay query returns the current delay value.
Return Format
<delay_value><NL>
<delay_value> ::= time from trigger to display reference in seconds
in NR3 format.
Example Code ' TIMEBASE_DELAY - Sets the time base delay. This delay
' is the internal time between the trigger event and the
' onscreen delay reference point.
' Set time base delay to 0.0.
myScope.WriteString ":TIMEBASE:DELAY 0.0"
