34970a

[Grant_C]

I am taking a voltage reading on the HP34970A every minute. The datalogger is being externally triggered via a negative edged pulse. Is there any way to create a short delay, say 200ms after the trigger signal is received befors taking the voltage reading? I have tried using the scan interval delay with an added redundant channel but this doesn`t seem to work. All ideas welcome!

You could try the channel delay command ROUT:CHAN:DELAY). This inserts a delay between the relay closure and the actual measurment. The delay is settable from 0 to 60 seconds with a 1 msec resolution. The CONF and MEAS commands set the delay to automatic so you would want to change the delay after these commands are issued.
