[:STARt]:DELay
ARM[:STARt]:DELay <period> specifies how long to delay entering the
wait-for-trigger state after the arming pulse is received and processed. Delays of
greater than 0 can be specified only if no pre-arm readings are being taken with the
post-arm readings (i.e. SENSe:SWEep:OFFSet:POINts is 0).
The delay time is generated using either the reference oscillator period or ten times
the reference oscillator period. If we designate the current reference oscillator
period as T, then the two ranges of delay can be expressed as:
0 to 65534T in steps of T
65540T to 655350T in steps of 10T

MINimum selects 0 delay. MAXimum selects 655350 reference oscillator
periods delay.
The above values bound the valid range for

Comments • Executable when initiated: No
• Coupled Command: Yes. This command is coupled to
SENSe:SWEep:OFFSet:POINts and to SENSe:ROSCillator:SOURce.
• If pre-arm readings are specified, then delay will be forced to 0, regardless of
what value was specified for delay. A settings conflict error will also occur.
