14/**
15 * Class to represent a specific output from an analog trigger.
16 * This class is used to get the current output value and also as a DigitalSource
17 * to provide routing of an output to digital subsystems on the FPGA such as
18 * Counter, Encoder, and Interrupt.
19 *
20 * The TriggerState output indicates the primary output value of the trigger. If the analog
21 * signal is less than the lower limit, the output is false. If the analog value is greater
22 * than the upper limit, then the output is true. If the analog value is in between, then
23 * the trigger output state maintains its most recent value.
24 *
25 * The InWindow output indicates whether or not the analog signal is inside the range defined
26 * by the limits.
27 *
28 * The RisingPulse and FallingPulse outputs detect an instantaneous transition from above the
29 * upper limit to below the lower limit, and vise versa. These pulses represent a rollover
30 * condition of a sensor and can be routed to an up / down couter or to interrupts. Because
31 * the outputs generate a pulse, they cannot be read directly. To help ensure that a rollover
32 * condition is not missed, there is an average rejection filter available that operates on the
33 * upper 8 bits of a 12 bit number and selects the nearest outlyer of 3 samples. This will reject
34 * a sample that is (due to averaging or sampling) errantly between the two limits. This filter
35 * will fail if more than one sample in a row is errantly in between the two limits. You may see
36 * this problem if attempting to use this feature with a mechanical rollover sensor, such as a
37 * 360 degree no-stop potentiometer without signal conditioning, because the rollover transition
38 * is not sharp / clean enough. Using the averaging engine may help with this, but rotational speeds of
39 * the sensor will then be limited.
