To read the trigger stimulus:
eventid = scan.trigger.arm.stimulus
eventid: Present trigger stimulus being used for the arm layer.
To write the trigger stimulus:
scan.trigger.arm.stimulus = eventid
eventid: Stimulus source to set for the arm layer
This attribute selects which event(s) will cause the arm event detector to enter the
detected state. Set this attribute to 0 to bypass waiting for an event.
eventid may be one of the following (existing trigger event ID's):

digio.trigger[line].EVENT_ID: An edge (either rising, falling, or either based on the
configuration of the line) on the digital input line.

display.trigger.EVENT_ID: The trigger key on the front panel is pressed.

trigger.EVENT_ID: A *trg message on the active command interface. If GPIB is
the active command interface, a GET message will also generate this event. Also,
the trigger.set function will generate this event.

trigger.blender[N].EVENT_ID: A combination of events has occurred.

trigger.timer[N].EVENT_ID: A delay expired. These can be expanded to include
LXI alarms.

tsplink.trigger[N].EVENT_ID: An edge (either rising, falling, or either based on the
configuration of the line) on the tsplink trigger line.

lan.trigger[N].EVENT_ID

scan.trigger.EVENT_SCAN_READY: Scan Ready Event.

scan.trigger.EVENT_SCAN_START: Scan Start Event

scan.trigger.EVENT_CHANNEL_READY: Channel Ready Event

scan.trigger.EVENT_MEASURE_COMP: Measure Complete Event

scan.trigger.EVENT_SEQUENCE_COMP: Sequence Complete Event

scan.trigger.EVENT_SCAN_COMP: Scan Complete Event

scan.trigger.EVENT_IDLE: Idle Event
To set trigger stimulus of the arm event detector to line 3 of digital I/O:
scan.trigger.arm.stimulus =
digio.trigger[3].EVENT_ID
To clear trigger stimulus of the arm event detector:
scan.trigger.arm.stimulus = 0
Clear the channel event detector.
scan.trigger.channel.clear()
This function will set the channel event detector to the undetected state.
To clear the channel event detector:
scan.trigger.channel.clear()
