What it means is there is a little module in the tower that registers when the tower is held down for 1ms or longer, and the module tells the field management system every 5ms or less whether it has been activated and when. We still don't know what the field management system does with that trigger though. It's entirely possible that it requires a certain number of consecutive high signals from the module before counting the tower TRIGGERED.
