–2).
timeout
: (In) Maximum amount of time in seconds to wait for the trigger.

detected since the last time trigger.blender[N].wait or trigger.blender[N].clear was
called, this function will return immediately.
After detecting a trigger with this function, the event detector will automatically reset
and rearm. This is true regardless of the number of events detected.

tsplink function and attributes
Use the function and attributes in this group to assign node numbers to Series 3700 instruments
and initialize the TSP-Link system.
tsplink.node
Attribute
TSP-Link node number.
Usage
To read the node number:
mynode = tsplink.node
To write the node number:
tsplink.node = mynode
mynode
: Set node number from 1 to 64. Default value is 2.
Remarks
This attribute sets the TSP-Link node number and saves the value in nonvolatile
memory.
After changing the node number, it will not take effect until the next time
tsplink.reset is executed on any node in the system.
Each node connected to the TSP-Link must be assigned a different node number.
Example
Sets the TSP-Link node to number 2:
tsplink.node = 2
