trigger.timer[N].wait()
This function waits for a trigger.
Usage
triggered = trigger.timer[N].wait(timeout)
Trigger detection indication
Trigger timer number (1 to 8)
Maximum amount of time in seconds to wait for the trigger
Details
If one or more trigger events were detected since the last time trigger.timer[N].wait() or
trigger.timer[N].clear() was called, this function returns immediately.
After waiting for a trigger with this function, the event detector is automatically reset and rearmed.
This is true regardless of the number of events detected.
Example
triggered = trigger.timer[3].wait(10)
print(triggered)
Waits up to 10 s for a trigger on timer 3.
If false is returned, no trigger was detected
during the 10 s timeout.
If true is returned, a trigger was detected.
