Collecting Performance Data Chapter 3
There are the following event trigger types available for manual
events:
Event trigger type Description
Manual active/inactive event The behavior of this trigger type is similar to the
following trigger types available for user-defined
events:
• Monitored Bit Low to High Transition
• Monitored Bit High to Low Transition
• Monitored Formula Low to High Transition
• Monitored Formula High to Low Transition
The difference between those trigger types and the
Manual active/inactive event trigger type is that the
latter does not require a data point attached to it.
Manual monitored continuous event The behavior of this trigger type is similar to the
Monitored Value trigger type available for
user-defined events.
The difference between those trigger types is that
the Manual monitored continuous event trigger
type does not require a data point attached to it.
