30 Time Base Commands
:TIMebase:WINDow:DELay
Command :TIMebase:WINDow:DELay <delay_value>
The :TIMebase:WINDow:DELay sets the horizontal position in the delayed
view of the main sweep. The range for this command is determined by the
main sweep range and the main sweep horizontal position. The value for
this command must keep the time base window within the main sweep
range.
<delay_value> A real number for the time in seconds from the trigger event to the delay
reference point. The maximum position depends on the main sweep range
and the main sweep horizontal position.
Example This example sets the time base window delay position to 20 ns.
myScope.WriteString ":TIMEBASE:WINDOW:DELAY 20E-9"
Query :TIMebase:WINDow:DELay?
The :TIMebase:WINDow:DELay? query returns the current horizontal
position in the delayed view.
Returned Format
[:TIMebase:WINDow:DELay] <delay_position><NL>
Example This example places the current horizontal position in the delayed view in
the numeric variable, varSetting, then prints the contents of the variable
to the computer's screen.
myScope.WriteString ":SYSTEM:HEADER OFF" ' Response headers off.
myScope.WriteString ":TIMEBASE:WINDOW:DELAY?"
varSetting = myScope.ReadNumber
Debug.Print FormatNumber(varSetting, 0)
See Also The :TIMebase:WINDow:POSition command performs the same function as
this command and should be used in new programs.
NOTE
This Command is Provided for Compatibility
This command is the same as the :TIMebase:WINDow:POSition command, and is provided
for compatibility with programs written for previous oscilloscopes. The preferred command
for compatibility with Infiniium Oscilloscopes is :TIMebase:WINDow:POSition.
