What causes a loose gas cap to trigger a check engine light error code?

My check engine light lit up yesterday. I remembered I forgot to tighten the fuel cap after filling gas. I tightened it today, but the light is still on. How many drive cycles does it take for the ECU to clear evap fault codes?
