(see page 782)
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 564).
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"
