Subsystem Commands
:ARM<:ACQuire|:TRANsient|[:ALL]>[:LAYer]:TIMer
source=AINT (automatic internal) automatically selects the arm source most
suitable for the present operating mode by using internal algorithms.
source=BUS selects the remote interface trigger command such as the group
execute trigger (GET) and the
*TRG command.
source=TIMer selects a signal internally generated every interval set by the
:ARM<:ACQuire|:TRANsient|[:ALL]>[:LAYer]:TIMer command.
source=INT1 or INT2 selects a signal from the internal bus 1 or 2, respectively.
source=LAN selects the LXI trigger specified by the
:ARM<:ACQuire|:TRANsient|[:ALL]>[:LAYer]:SOURce:LAN command.
source=EXTn selects a signal from the GPIO pin n, which is an input port of the
Digital I/O D-sub connector on the rear panel. n=1 to 14.
Query response response <newline>
response returns the present setting of arm source, AINT, BUS, TIM, INT1, INT2,
LAN, or EXT1 through EXT14. Response data type is CRD.
Example :ARM:SOUR AINT
:ARM2:TRAN:SOUR?
:ARM<:ACQuire|:TRANsient|[:ALL]>[:LAYer]:TIMer
Sets the interval of the TIMer arm source for the specified device action.
Syntax :ARM[c]<:ACQuire|:TRANsient|[:ALL]>[:LAYer]:TIMer interval
:ARM[c]<:ACQuire|:TRANsient>[:LAYer]:TIMer? [interval]
:ARM[c][:ALL][:LAYer]:TIMer? interval
For <:ACQuire|:TRANsient|[:ALL]>, specify :ACQuire for measurement,
:TRANsient for source output, or :ALL for both device actions.
Parameter interval Interval, in seconds. value (1E-5 to 1E+5)|MINimum|
MAXimum|DEFault (default is 1E-5). Parameter data type is
NRf+. Query does not support interval=value.
Query response response <newline>
response returns the present setting of interval. If a parameter is specified, response
returns the value assigned to DEF, MIN, or MAX. Response data type is NR3.
