Usage
count
= trigger.timer[
N
].count
trigger.timer[
N
].count =
count
count
Number of times to repeat the trigger
N
A trigger timer value from 1 to 4
Details
If
count
is set to a number greater than 1, the timer automatically starts the next delay at expiration of the
previous delay.
Set
count
to zero (0) to cause the timer to generate trigger events indefinitely.
Example
print(trigger.timer[1].count)
Read retrigger count for timer number 1.

Usage
interval
= trigger.timer[
N
].delay
trigger.timer[
N
].delay =
interval
interval
Delay interval in seconds
N
Trigger timer number (1 to 4)
Details
Each time the timer is triggered, it uses this delay period.
Assigning a value to this attribute is equivalent to:
trigger.timer[
N
].delaylist = {
interval
}
This creates a delay list of one value.
Reading this attribute returns the delay interval that will be used the next time the timer is triggered.
Example
trigger.timer[1].delay = 50e-6
Set the trigger timer 1 to delay for
50 µs.
