Comments • Executable when initiated: No
• Coupled Command: This command is coupled to SENSe:SWEep:POINts,
SENSe:SWEep:OFFSet:POINts, ARM:STARt:COUNt, and
MEMory:BATTery:STATe.
• TRIGger:STARt:COUNt values between 1 and 7 will be rounded to 1 or 7,
whichever is closer to the specified count.
• If the count is set to INFinity or 9.9E+37, the ABORt command must be used to
return the trigger system to the idle state before any readings taken may be read
from memory. Due to this, the READ? command can not be used when
TRIGger:STARt:COUNt is set to INFinity, attempts to do so will result in error
-214, "Trigger deadlock".
• Multiple bursts of a measurement process involving both pre-arm and post-arm
readings (ARM:STARt:COUNt > 1 and SENSe:SWEep:OFFSet:POINts < 0) is a
special case which causes memory partitioning to occur. This partitioning of
memory is handled automatically by the instrument, and is a function of
ARM:STARt:COUNt and TRIGger:STARt:COUNt (SENSe:SWEep:POINts).
TRIGger:STARt:COUNt is satisfied first, and then ARM:STARt:COUNt is
attempted.

Example Taking 20 readings (8 pre-arm and 12 post-arm)
ARM:COUNt 1 ARM the reading trigger once
TRIG:COUN 20 Take 20 readings each arm cycle
SENS:SWE:OFFS:POIN -8 Set 8 readings as pre-arm
