generate another set of pulses upon receiving a new trigger. Triggers that occur in the middle of a
burst will be ignored. Pressing the Run/Stop key again will disarm the unit.
Start a Continuous Stream of Pulses Using the External Trigger
The external trigger may be used to cause the unit to start generating pulses by setting:

after an external trigger is received. Triggers that occur after the initial trigger will be ignored.
Pressing the Run/Stop key again will disarm the unit.
