Trigger Value
The trigger value shall be configured with the internal representation of the processor so that the trace
function works properly.
Example: If P550 = 4, set P551 = 4095 to compare the value of P004 with the total DC Link voltage value
(100%). The parameter P004 uses the numerical format Q4.12.
