Details
The SMU will automatically clear all the event detectors when the smuX.trigger.initiate() function is
executed. This function should be called after the sweep is initiated.
A common example of when this function can be used is when you want the SMU to immediately perform an
action the first time through the trigger model even if a programmed trigger event does not occur.
This function can also be used to start actions on the SMU in case of a missed trigger event.
Example
smua.trigger.arm.set()
Sets the arm event detector to the
detected state for SMU channel A.
