ALGorithm
•
When <delay> is AUTO, the delay is set to the worst-case time required to
execute phases 1 through 3. This provides the fastest execution speed while
maintaining a fixed time between trigger and the OUTPUT phase.
•
To set the time from trigger to the beginning of OUTPUT, use the following
procedure. After defining all other algorithms, execute:
ALG:OUTP:DEL AUTO
sets minimum stable delay
ALG:OUTP:DEL?
returns this minimum delay
ALG:OUTP:DEL <minimum+additional>
additional = desired - minimum
Note that the delay value returned by ALG:OUTP:DEL? is valid only until
another algorithm is loaded. After that, reissue the ALG:OUTP:DEL AUTO
and ALG:OUTP:DEL? queries to determine the new delay that includes the
added algorithm.
•
When Accepted: Before INIT only.
•
*RST Condition: ALG:OUTP:DELAY AUTO
•
Send with VXIplug&play Function: hpe1422_cmd(...)
ALGorithm:OUTPut:DELay?
ALGorithm:OUTPut:DELay? returns the delay setting from ALG:OUTP:DEL.
Comments •
The value returned will be either the value set by ALG:OUTP:DEL <delay>,
or the value determined by ALG:OUTP:DEL AUTO.
•
When Accepted: Before INIT only.
•
*RST Condition: ALG:OUTP:DEL AUTO, returns delay setting determined
by AUTO mode.
•
Returned Value: number of seconds of delay. The type is float32.
