ExternalTriggerDelay Property


Description

Sets and reads the trigger delay for all measurements in the CHANNEL. This delay is only applied while in app.Source = naTriggerSourceExternal and trigsetup.Scope = naChannelTrigger .  After an external trigger is applied, the start of the sweep is delayed for the specified delay value plus any inherent latency.

To apply a trigger delay for all channels (Global), use TriggerDelay Property.
