Example
trigger.timer[4].reset()
trigger.timer[4].delay = 0.5
trigger.timer[4].start.stimulus = trigger.EVENT_NOTIFY8
trigger.timer[4].start.generate = trigger.OFF
trigger.timer[4].count = 20
trigger.timer[4].enable = trigger.ON
Reset trigger timer 4.
Set trigger timer 4 to have a 0.5 s delay.
Set the stimulus for trigger timer 4 to be the notify 8 event.
Set the timer event to occur when the timer delay elapses.
Set the trigger timer 4 count to 20.
Enable trigger timer 4.

Details
This command indicates if an event was ignored because the event detector was already in the
detected state when the event occurred.
This is an indication of the state of the event detector built into the timer itself. It does not indicate if
an overrun occurred in any other part of the trigger model or in any other construct that is monitoring
the delay completion event. It also is not an indication of a delay overrun.
Example
print(trigger.timer[1].start.overrun)
If an event was ignored, the output is
true
.
If the event was not ignored, the output is
false
.
