ARM
The ARM subsystem operates with the TRIGger subsystem to control the
starting of waveform output as follows:
•
The source and slope for arming (starting) waveform generation.
•
The number of waveform start arms the HP E1340A will accept
before the trigger system returns to the idle state.
•
The number of repetitions of a waveform that will be output for each
start arm accepted.

Ramp, Sine, Square, and Triangle Outputs: MINimum selects 1 repetition;
MAXimum selects 65534 repetitions. 9.9E+37 is equivalent to INFinity.
Arbitrary Waveform Output: MINimum selects 1 repetition. If
SOURce:FUNCtion:USER A | B | C | D | HOP_AB is selected, MAXimum
selects 65534 repetitions. If SOURce:FUNCtion:USER AB is selected,
MAXimum selects 32767 repetitions. If SOURce:FUNCtion:USER ABCD is
selected, MAXimum selects 16383 repetitions.
