Section 11: TSP command reference

Details
This command indicates whether an event has been 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 synchronization line 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 event.
It also is not an indication of an output trigger overrun.
Example
overrun = lan.trigger[5].overrun
print(overrun)
Checks the overrun status of a trigger on LAN5 and
outputs the value, such as:
false

protocol
The protocol to use for messages from the trigger:
▪

lan.TCP
▪
1
or
lan.UDP
▪
2
or
lan.MULTICAST
N
The LAN event number (1 to 8)
Details
The LAN trigger listens for trigger messages on all supported protocols, but uses the designated
protocol for sending outgoing messages. After changing this setting,
lan.trigger[
N
].connect()
must be called before outgoing event messages can be sent.
When the
lan.MULTICAST
protocol is selected, the
lan.trigger[
N
].ipaddress
attribute is
ignored and event messages are sent to the multicast address 224.0.23.159.
