Details
If one or more trigger events were detected since the last time

or
trigger.timer[

].clear()
was called, this function returns immediately.
After waiting for a trigger with this function, the event detector is automatically reset and rearmed.
This is true regardless of the number of events detected.
Example
triggered = trigger.timer[3].wait(10)
print(triggered)
Waits up to 10 s for a trigger on timer 3.
If
false
is returned, no trigger was detected
during the 10 s timeout.
If
true
is returned, a trigger was detected.
