Trigger type in state machine diagram

[objectinfo]

Hello All,

In a state machine diagram, when you specfify a transiation from one sate to another, in the 'StateFlow Properties', for the Trigger, you can specify the type as one of the following: 'Call', 'Change', 'Signal', 'Typ'.

Please can somebody explain what is the significance of these types?

'Call' - specifies that the event is a CallEvent.  In other words, it sends a message to the associated object by invoking an operation.

'Change' - specifies that the event is a ChangeEvent.  This indicates that the transition is the result of a change in value of an attribute.

'Signal' - specifies that the event is a SignalEvent.  This corresponds to the receipt of an asynchronous message.

'Typ' - I think you actually meant 'Time' here.  This corresponds to a TimeEvent.  In other words, and event that specifies a moment in time.

Thanks! That was really helpful.

Unfortunately, actually adhering an operation of the owning classifier doesn't seem possible in EA? ... as far as my investigations go.
