Set the channel event detector to the detected state.
scan.trigger.channel.set()
This function will set the channel event detector to the detected state.
scan.trigger.channel.set()
Channel event detector stimulus selection.
To read the trigger stimulus:
eventid = scan.trigger.channel.stimulus
eventid: Present trigger stimulus being used for the channel action.
To write the stimulus:
scan.trigger.channel.stimulus = eventid
eventid: Trigger stimulus to set for the channel action
This attribute selects which event(s) will cause the channel event detector to enter the
detected state. Set this attribute to nil 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 channel event detector to armed event:
scan.trigger.channel.stimulus =
scan.trigger.EVENT_ARMED
