A position trigger waits for a specified motor to reach or pass a target position, and then starts the following step.

For example if the position trigger is set at 100 inches and the motor is running forward then the trigger is looking for a position greater than or equal to 100 inches. If the motor is running in reverse then the trigger is looking for a position less than or equal to 100 inches.
