Detailed Description

TriggeredEventReporter is a subclass of EventReporter for events that occur when some condition is satisfied within the system.

This is implemented by means of an "event trigger function". For any State, the handler must be able to calculate the value of the function. When it passes through 0, that indicates the event has occurred. You can also customize when the event is triggered, for example to specify that it is only triggered when the function goes from negative to positive, not when it goes from positive to negative.
