Trigger event IDs*
Event ID
Event description
trigger.blender[
N
].EVENT_ID
Occurs after a collection of events is detected
trigger.timer[
N
].EVENT_ID
Occurs when a delay expires
trigger.generator[
N
].EVENT_ID
Occurs when the
trigger.generator[
N
].assert()
function is executed
* Use the name of the trigger event ID to set the stimulus value rather than the numeric value. Using the name
makes the code compatible for future upgrades (for example, if the numeric values must change when
enhancements are added to the instrument).
Example
print(tsplink.trigger[3].stimulus)
Prints the event that will start TSP-Link trigger
line 3 action.

Yes
Usage
triggered
= tsplink.trigger[
N
].wait(
timeout
)
triggered
Trigger detection indication; set to one of the following values:
true
: A trigger is detected during the timeout period
false
: A trigger is not detected during the timeout period
N

Details
This function waits up to the timeout value for an input trigger. If one or more trigger events were
detected since the last time
tsplink.trigger[
N
].wait()
or
tsplink.trigger[
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 = tsplink.trigger[3].wait(10)
print(triggered)
Waits up to 10 seconds for a trigger on TSP-Link
®
line 3.
If
false
is returned, no trigger was detected during
the 10-second timeout.
If
true
is returned, a trigger was detected.
