Check if trigger happened without wait()

[ngblume]

Hello,

quick questions from the digitalTriggeredCapture perspective…
I am used to being able to check, if a trigger occured, without being stuck until the trigger occured.
Sofar the wait() fujnction seems to be blocking with no option for timeout…

Is there another function, that just allows me to check, if the trigger occured, maybe even after calling stop on a maybe triggered capture?
That way I can just discard the capture, if no trigger occured, or proceed with adding analyzer, etc. if the trigger occured as expected…

Thanks !

Cheers

Suggest this post may answer your question:

Detect Saleae Run State For Failed Trigger

As far as I know, the WaitCapture API is a blocking call, and won’t return until the capture has met the criteria defined in the wait() API documentation: TimedCaptureMode, this will wait for the capture duration to complete DigitalTriggerCaptureMode, this will wait for the digital trigger to be found and the capture to complete So, you might need a separate thread to detect DUT failure and restart the DUT instead? Otherwise, I’ll defer to Saleae to comment on how to clean-up or cancel a pen…

… but as far as I know, the status hasn’t changed since then.
