Details
If this is
true
, 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 line itself. It does not indicate if an
overrun occurred in any other part of the trigger model or in any other detector that is monitoring the
event.
Example
overrun = trigger.extin.overrun
print(overrun)
If there is no trigger overrun on the external
in, the output is:
false

Timeout in seconds
Details
This function pauses for up to
timeout
seconds for an input trigger. If one or more trigger events are
detected since the last time
trigger.extin.wait()
or
trigger.extin.clear()
was called,
this function returns a value immediately. After waiting for a trigger with this function, the event
detector is automatically reset and is ready to detect the next trigger. This is true regardless of the
number of events detected.
Example
triggered = trigger.extin.wait(3)
print(triggered)
Waits up to 3 s for a trigger to be detected on the
external trigger line, then outputs the results.
Output if no trigger is detected:
false
Output if a trigger is detected:
true
