If one or more trigger events were detected since the last time trigger.timer[N].wait() or
trigger.timer[N].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 seconds for a trigger on
timer 3.
If false is returned, no trigger was
detected during the 10-second timeout.
If
true
is returned, a trigger was detected.
