The instrument must be waiting for the appropriate event when the command is sent. Otherwise, an error
will occur and the command will be ignored. When the command is sent, the bypass will occur and op-
eration will continue on.
Note that :IMMediate is not an instrument setup command. As soon as this command is executed, it will
attempt to bypass the specified control source.
Programming example OUTPUT 716; “:arm:imm” ! Bypass arm control source
4.24.4 :COUNt <n>
:ARM[:SEQuence[1]][:LAYer[1]]:COUNt <n>Set arm layer count
:ARM[:SEQuence[1]]:LAYer2:COUNt <n> Set scan layer count
:TRIGger[:SEQuence[1]]:COUNt <n> Set measure layer count
Parameters <n> = 1 to 99999 Specify count
= INF Sets count to infinite
= DEFault Sets count to 1
= MINimum Sets count to 1
= MAXimum Sets count to 99999
Formats :arm:coun <n>
:arm:lay2:coun <n>
:trig:coun <n>
Defaults Power-up Saved power-on setup
*RST 1 (all layers)
:SYSTem:PRESet 1 (all layers)
Query :COUNt? Queries programmed count
:COUNt? DEFault Queries *RST default count
:COUNt? MINimum Queries lowest allowable count
:COUNt? MAXimum Queries largest allowable count
Short-form formats: :arm:coun? :arm:lay2:coun?
:arm:coun? xxx :arm:lay2:coun? xxx
:trig:coun?
:trig:coun? xxx
where; xxx = def, min or max
Response messages: 1 to 99999 (for finite count)
+9.9e37 (for infinite count)
Description These commands are used to specify how many times operation will loop around in the specified layer of
operation. For example, if the measure count is set to 10, operation will continue to loop around in the
measure layer until 10 measurements are performed. After the 10th measurement, operation will proceed
back up to the scan layer.
Programming example 10 OUTPUT 716; “:trig:coun 10; coun?”
20 ENTER 716; A$
30 PRINT A$
40 END
