ARM[:STARt][:IMMediate]

The actual delay time after receipt of arm event is not precisely the delay time specified above. There is an inherent delay of typically 230 ns plus an amount of sample period uncertainty. Refer to Appendix A - "Specifications" for additional information on the inherent delay.

arming the start trigger

[:STARt][:IMMediate]

ARM[:STARt][:IMMediate] will cause the start trigger to be armed immediately, regardless of the selected ARM:STARt:SOURce. The selected ARM:STARt:SOURce remains unchanged. The INITiate:IMMediate command must have been sent before this command, otherwise error -212,"Arm ignored" will occur.

There is no query form of this command.

Comments Executable when initiated: Yes

Coupled Command: No

If the instrument is in the idle or wait-for-trigger states, the ARM:STARt:IMMediate command will cause error -212,"Arm ignored" to be generated.

If ARM:STARt:COUNt is greater than 1, only a single measurement cycle is affected by ARM:STARt:IMMediate; the count is decremented by one, and the remaining ARM:STARt:COUNt cycles will be executed with the original arming source active.

When ARM:STARt:IMMediate is sent, any ARM:STARt:DELay is bypassed for that arm only.
