ARM[:STARt]:SLOPe[<n >]

Comments Executable when initiated: No

Coupled Command: Yes. A settings conflict error occurs if ARM:STARt:SLOPe EITHer is set and ARM:STARt:SOURce EXTernal is set.The EITHer setting is only valid when the associated ARM:STARt:SOURce is set to INTernal<n >.

ARM:STARt:SLOPe1 controls the slope on ARM:STARt:SOURce1 and ARM:STARt:SLOPe2 controls the slope on ARM:STARt:SOURce2. Note that ’1’ and ’2’ refer to the arm source and not a channel number.

When ARM:STARt:SLOPe is EITHer, having a value of ARM:STARt:LEVel:POSitive greater than the value of ARM:STARt:LEVel:NEGative will cause arming to occur when the signal exits the defined window. If ARM:STARt:LEVel:NEGative is greater than ARM:STARt:LEVel:POSitive, then an arm event will occur when the signal enters into the defined window.

The edge selected by ARM:STARt:SLOPe<n > is ignored when ARM:STARt:SOURce<n > is set to any source other than EXTernal1, INTernal1, or INTernal2. Other trigger sources have standardized active edges: NEGative for TTLTrg<n> or POSitive for ECLTrg<n>.
