MLTrigIsTrigged
Description
Checks if the selected block has been triggered. When a block has been triggered, it contains the time and position when a Fast Input
The inputs are taken into account at each cycle depending on the system periodicity (for example each millisecond). Under certain circumstances this can be insufficient when more accuracy is needed, or if a quick response is required from the system. To fill the gap, a drive may have some Fast Input connections (generally one or two). When an event happens that triggers a Fast Input (e.g. when a sensor sends a rising edge), the detection of a signal occurs faster (which can be 1000 times more accurate than the system periodicity). Then the timestamp associated with this input can be provided to the IPC to take corrective action event occurred. The application has to reset the block before the block can be triggered again. All trigger events that are sent to the block during its triggered state are lost.

-
Once triggered, a block has to be reset before it can be triggered again. All events that are sent to a block while in a triggered state are ignored and the position and time information is lost.
