When TRIG:SOURCE is TIMER, an ARM event is required only to trigger the
first scan. After that the timer continues to run and the module goes to the
Waiting-For-Trigger State ready for the next Timer trigger. An ABORT
command will return the module to the Trigger Idle State after the current scan
is completed. See TRIG:SOURce for more detail.
