This command is available for DAC, digital I/O, and totalizer channels. Switch channels are not
supported.
Example 1
channel.trigger[1].set("1010", channel.IND_MATCH)
chan_list, state_match = channel.trigger[1].get()
print(chan_list, state_match)
Assuming a 3750, defines channel trigger event 1 to occur when totalizer channel 10 matches its defined match
value.
Query for the channels and state conditions associated with channel trigger 1.
Output:
1010 4.00000
Example 2
channel.trigger[5].set("6003, 6005", channel.IND_MATCH)
print(channel.trigger[5].get())
Assuming a Model 3750 card, define a channel trigger event 5 to occur when either digital I/O channel 3 or 5 on
slot 6 match their defined values.
View the trigger information associated with channel trigger 5.
