makeDelay

Creates a delay event for use in a Pulseq sequence. This function generates a structure representing a delay block with a specified duration.

Syntax

function del = makeDelay(delay)

Calling Pattern

mr.makeDelay(...)

Parameters

Required Parameters

Name	Type	Description	Example	Units
delay	double	The duration of the delay in seconds.	0.005	seconds

Returns

Output	Type	Description
del	struct	A structure representing the delay event. This structure contains the field 'type' with value 'delay' and the field 'delay' containing the specified delay duration.

Examples

% TE delay in gradient echo sequence
seq.addBlock(mr.makeDelay(delayTE));

% Preparation delay for steady-state sequences
prepDelay = mr.makeDelay(round((TR/2 - mr.calcDuration(gz_1))/sys.gradRasterTime)*sys.gradRasterTime);

% Inversion recovery delay
seq.addBlock(mr.makeDelay(TIdelay), gslSp);
