## Data Object Description

Specification indicating which on transitions this action fires. The existence of a Spec indicates that this action fires on transitions from that Spec's startState to finalState.

There are only four acceptable {startState, finalState} pairs: {green, yellow}, {yellow, red}, {red, yellow} and {yellow, green}. At least one of these pairs must be specified. Any deviation from the above will render the enclosing AlarmSpec invalid.

Properties
