ARM
The ARM subsystem operates with the TRIGger subsystem to control the starting of
waveform output and frequency sweeps or list generation, as follows:
– The source and slope for arming (starting) waveform generation.
– The number of waveform start arms the Agilent E1445A will accept before
trigger system returns to the idle state.
– The number of repetitions of a waveform that will be output for each start arm
accepted.
– The number of sweep arms the Agilent E1445A will accept before the sweep
system returns to the idle state.
– The source and slope for arming (starting) a frequency sweep or list generation.

[:STARt][:LAYer[1]]:COUNt
ARM[:STARt][:LAYer[1]]:COUNt <number> selects the number of waveform
repetitions to be output for each start arm accepted.

numeric 1 through 65536 | 9.9E+37 |
INFinity | MINimum | MAXimum
none
MINimum selects 1 repetitions; MAXimum selects 65536 repetitions.
9.9E+37 is equivalent to INFinity.
Comments • Use the ABORt or TRIGger:STOP[:IMMediate] command to terminate the output
when
ARM:STARt:LAYer1:COUNt is set to INFinity or 9.9E+37.
• For standard function sine waves, the actual number of cycles which appear at the
output relative to the programmed count is approximate, and is not specified.
