to which the external device is attached.

Arm, OnEvent
The
Disarm
command prevents Driver488 from invoking an event handler and interrupting the PC, even
when the specified condition occurs. Your program can still check for the condition by using the
Status
command. If the
Disarm
command is invoked without specifying any conditions, then all conditions are
disabled. The
Arm
command may be used to re-enable interrupt detection.
