Delay interval in seconds (8 µs to 100 ks)

Trigger timer number (1 to 4)
Details
Once the timer is enabled, each time the timer is triggered, it uses this delay period.
Assigning a value to this attribute is equivalent to:
trigger.timer[
N
].delaylist = {
interval
}
This creates a delay list of one value.
Reading this attribute returns the delay interval that will be used the next time the timer is triggered.
If you use the trigger timer with a trigger model, make sure the trigger timer delay is set so that the
readings are paced correctly.
Example
trigger.timer[1].delay = 50e-6
Set the trigger timer 1 to delay for
50 µs.
