another. A Trigger contains the following attributes.

Description
Name
The Name that uniquely identifies the Trigger.

modified.
Scan Period
The rate at which the Trigger will be evaluated.
Condition
The Condition under which the Trigger will fire. Condition can be any of
the following.
Parameter
Description
ALWAYS
Always fires.
NEVER
Never fires.
CHANGE
Fires on change of state.
LT
Fires when Compare Value 1 < Compare Value
2.
LTE
Fires when Compare Value 1 <= Compare Value
2.
GT
Fires when Compare Value 1 > Compare Value
2.
GTE
Fires when Compare Value 1 >= Compare Value
2.
EQ
Fires when Compare Value 1 = Compare Value
2.
NEQ
Fires when Compare Value 1 <> Compare Value
2.
BAND (Bitwise
AND)
Fires when Compare Value 1 bitwise ANDed
with Compare Value 2 is non zero.

ENEQ, EBAND
These conditions are the same as the conditions
above, except that these conditions are edge
trigger conditions. They only fire once when the
condition evaluates to true. The trigger will fire
again once, when the condition evaluates to
false and then changes again to true.
Tolerance
Optional comparison Tolerance value (numeric constant).
Ignored for ALWAYS, NEVER, CHANGE, BAND, and EBAND
conditions.
Used as hysteresis value for LT, LTE, GT, GTE, ELT, ELTE, EGT,
and EGTE conditions.
Used as range for EQ, NEQ, EEQ, and ENEQ conditions.
