Description
Use this command to set/read the pulse-delay. Delay is the time between
the start of the pulse period and the start of the leading-edge of the pulse.
If you want the pulse-delay to remain constant when the pulse period is
varied (rather than the phase-delay) use
[:SOURce]:PULSe:DELay[1|2]:HOLD TIME
.
Example
:PULS:DEL1 500NS
Set OUTPUT1 delay to 500 ns
:PHAS2 180 DEG
Set OUTPUT 2 phase to 180
°
:PULS:DEL1:HOLD TIME
Hold OUTPUT 1 delay constant with
varying period
:PULS:DEL2:HOLD PRAT
Hold OUTPUT 2 phase constant with
varying period

Description
Use this command to set/read the coupling between the pulse period and
the pulse-delay:
Example
:PULS:DEL1 500ns
Set OUTPUT 1 delay to 500ns
:PHAS2 180DEG
Set OUTPUT 2 phase to 180
°
:PULS:DEL1:HOLD TIME
Hold OUTPUT 1 delay constant with varying period
:PULS:DEL2:HOLD PRAT
Hold OUTPUT 2 phase constant with varying period
TIME The absolute pulse-delay is held fixed when the pulse period is
varied (Pulse phase varies).
PRATio The pulse phase-delay (delay as ratio of period) is held fixed
when the pulse period is varied. (Pulse-delay varies).
