Details
The branch-on-event block goes to a branching block after a specified trigger event occurs. If the
trigger event has not yet occurred when the trigger model reaches the branch-on-event block, the
trigger model continues to execute the blocks in the normal sequence. After the trigger event occurs,
the next time the trigger model reaches the branch-on-event block, it goes to the branching block.
If you set the branch event to none, an error is generated when you run the trigger model.
The following table shows the constants for the events.

Example
trigger.model.setblock(6, trigger.BLOCK_BRANCH_ON_EVENT, trigger.EVENT_DISPLAY,
2)
When the trigger model reaches this block, if the front-panel TRIGGER key has been pressed, the trigger
model returns to block 2. If the TRIGGER key has not been pressed, the trigger model continues to block 7
(the next block in the trigger model).
