As long as there is a low level input signal the counter will not
start a new measurement. A measurement will be started if
the following conditions are all met: the signal at the input
switches from low to high, the trigger conditions selected are
fulfi lled. The delay time caused by the arming signal is 50 ns.
The measurement will be performed according to the HM8123
settings. During a measurement any signals at the TRIG/ARM
input will be ignored. A new measurement will be started
after the measurement time set has elapsed with the next
positive slope at the TRIG/ARM input
