Tim,

At IPNS Garrett Rinehart wrote a series of Trip records.  He basically
added two fields to many of the major types ai, bi, mbbi, etc to create
aiTrip, biTrip, etc.  The extra fields were TLNK and TREN.  TLNK is a
link that gets processed if a MAJOR severity condition is reached.  TREN
is an enable/disable field for this link.  This is used at IPNS for
software level trips to shut the beam off.
