Display triggering

Script execution can be delayed for a specified period of time and wait for the operator to press the
TRIG key to continue. The script will continue when the TRIG key is pressed, or the specified wait
period has expired.

display.trigger.clear()

while the detector is set, the trigger will be detected immediately and the script will continue. Send
the

print(triggered)
