34410 SAMP:TIM cannot be set.

I'm using the linux driver to connect to 34410A.

My code (in perl) looks like this.

       my $echoresult =  `echo 'SAMP:SOUR TIM'>/dev/usbtmc1`;
        $echoresult =  `echo 'SAMP:TIM 0.01'>/dev/usbtmc1`;
        $echoresult =  `echo 'SAMP:COUN 300'>/dev/usbtmc1`;
        $echoresult =  `echo READ? >/dev/usbtmc1`;


Even though I'm setting the SAMP:TIM as 0.01 it is not getting set correctly. When I query SAMP:TIM?, it is returning 0.01. But when READ? is executed, the TIM value is roughly 0.1 second.

Can anyone suggest a solution for this? Am I not setting some parameter?

If this is not confusing, I also tried to set "SAMP:TIM MIN". And when I not query SAMP:TIM? the value is about 0.3 second. Not sure why?

Thanks in advance!
