Details
This attribute indicates if an event was ignored because the event detector was already in the detected state
when the event occurred.
This is an indication of the state of the event detector built into the timer itself. It does not indicate if an overrun

Example
print(trigger.timer[1].start.overrun)
If an event was ignored, the output
is true.
If the event was not ignored, the

Example
trigger.timer[1].start.seconds = localnode.gettime() + 30
trigger.timer[1].enable = trigger.ON
Set the trigger timer to start 30 seconds from the time when the timer is enabled.
