TSP-Link
accessibility
This function cannot be accessed from a remote TSP-Link node.
Usage triggered = trigger.wait(timeout)
timeout Maximum amount of time in seconds to wait for the trigger.
triggered Returns true if a trigger was detected. Returns false
if no triggers were detected during the timeout period.
Remarks • This function will wait up to timeout seconds for a trigger on the active command interface. A
command interface trigger occurs when:
• A GPIB GET command is detected (GPIB only).
• A VXI-11 device_trigger method is invoked (VXI-11 only).
•A *trg message is received.
• If one or more of these trigger events were previously detected, this function will return
immediately.
• After waiting for a trigger with this function, the event detector will be automatically reset and
rearmed. This is true regardless of the number of events detected.
Details See Section 8.
Also see trigger.clear
Example Waits up to 10 seconds for a trigger:
triggered = trigger.wait(10)
print(triggered)
Output: false
The above output indicates that no trigger was detected during the 10 second timeout.
