Special Condition Trigger
The Special Condition trigger dialog appears as:
In this dialog you create trigger for special conditions that occur. These are:
 HCA started normally
 HCA started from a power failure
 Power Out
 Power restored
The first two conditions give you the means to have a program run when HCA first starts. The
second two conditions are only useful when your computer is on a UPS backup system. When
HCA detects that the house power is off, and programs with a "Power Out" trigger start. When
Power returns, any programs with a "Power restored" trigger start.
Hint: The Power Out and Power Restored triggers are for legacy designs. The better method to
handle these conditions is using the Alert mechanism of the Troubleshooter. See chapter 11
for information on the Alert Manager.
