:DIFF:TDELay
Command Syntax
:DIFFN:TDELay <delay>
<delay> is time expressed as a real number.
Where N identifies a specific differential waveform in the form "<connection1-8>_<ch1|ch3|ch5|ch7>". With connection 1, the connection number part (that is, "1_") is optional, and you can simply use the channel number "<ch1|ch3|ch5|ch7>". When two channels are paired to create a differential waveform and a common-mode waveform, the odd-numbered channel is used when specifying the waveform. For example, connection 5 differential waveform 3 (from the pairing of channels 3 and 4) is DIFF5_3.

Description
Adjusts the software delay to change the horizontal position of displayed waveforms. The delayed waveform can be the differential waveform or the delay between the two differential input waveforms. Software delay allows you to compensate for the time offset between two or more channels. The difference in timing may be caused by different types or lengths of cable. The delay adjust also allows you to lay one channel waveform over another channel waveform and compare the shapes of the two waveforms. Delay increases the time required to acquire the measurement data.
The skew adjust differs from the horizontal position control (:TIMebase:POSition), which changes the position all of the channels at the same time. Adjusting the skew does not affect the horizontal scale, vertical scale, and offset of the displayed channels.
