8 «BUS | IMMediate»
Bus Arming On/Off
Switches between Bus and Immediate mode for the “wait-for-bus-arm” function,
(layer 2). GET and *TRG triggers the counter if Bus is selected as source.
If the counter receives GET/ *TRG when not in “wait-for-bus-arm” state, it ignores
the trigger and generates an error.
It also generates an error if it receives GET/ *TRG and bus arming is switched off
(set to IMMediate).
