Using the Gate & External Arm Menu Key
Overview of Gate/External Arming Functions
Table 2-2 for the HP 53131A (and HP 53132A with a serial number prefix
below 3646) and Table 2-3 for the HP 53132A with a serial number prefix
3646 and above (on page 2-19 and page 2-23, respectively) list the menus
for all the arming configurations, and shows how the Gate and External
Arming menu changes as a function of the measurement and the arming
mode.
The HP 53131A/132A Counter has four arming modes: auto, external,
digits, and time. However, the HP 53131A (or HP 53132A with a serial
number prefix below 3646) and HP 53132A have different arming
capabilities for Time Interval measurements. Thus, for simplicity, their
Time Interval arming capabilities are discussed in separate subsections.
•
If you are using an HP 53131A (or HP 53132A with a serial number
prefix below 3646), read the Time Interval Delay arming information
starting on page 2-17.
•
If you are using an HP 53132A (with a serial number prefix 3646 and
above), read the Time Interval Delay arming information starting
on page 2-20.
Gate/External Arming Capabilities

dutycycle, and phase, auto arming means make individual
measurements as fast as possible.
For totalize, auto arming means the Counter starts to count when it is
