Table of Contents Title 18.2. Crimes and Offenses Generally Chapter 7. Crimes Involving Health and Safety Article 7. Other Illegal Weapons 18.2-308.5:1. Manufacture, importation, sale, possession, transfer, or transportation of auto sears and trigger activators prohibited; penalty
"Auto sear" means a device, other than a trigger activator, designed for use in converting a semi-automatic firearm to shoot automatically more than one shot, without manual reloading, by a single function of the trigger.
"Trigger activator" means a device designed to allow a semi-automatic firearm to shoot more than one shot with a single pull of the trigger by harnessing the recoil energy of any semi-automatic firearm to which it is affixed so that the trigger resets and continues firing without additional physical manipulation of the trigger by the shooter.
D. Nothing in this section shall be construed to prohibit a person from manufacturing, importing, selling, offering for sale, possessing, receiving, transferring, or transporting any item for which such person is in compliance with the National Firearms Act (26 U.S.C. 5801 et seq.).
(b) "Shotgun" means a weapon designed, redesigned, made or remade which is intended to be fired from the shoulder and uses the energy of the explosive in a fixed shotgun shell to fire through a smooth bore either a number of ball shot or a single projectile for each single pull of the trigger.
(c) "Short-barreled shotgun" means a shotgun having one or more barrels less than 18 inches in length and any weapon made from a shotgun if such weapon as modified has an overall length less than 26 inches.
(d) "Trigger activator" means a removable manual or power driven trigger activating device constructed and designed so that, when attached to a firearm, the rate at which the trigger may be pulled increases and the rate of fire of the firearm increases to that of a PreviousmachineNext PreviousgunNext.
(e) "PreviousMachineNext PreviousgunNext conversion kit" means any part or combination of parts designed and intended for use in converting a weapon into a PreviousmachineNext PreviousgunNext, and any combination of parts from which a PreviousmachineNext PreviousgunNext can be assembled, but does not include a spare or replacement part for a PreviousmachineNext PreviousgunNext that is possessed lawfully under section 609.67, subdivision 3.
Except as otherwise provided herein, whoever owns, possesses, or operates a PreviousmachineNext PreviousgunNext, any trigger activator or PreviousmachineNext PreviousgunNext conversion kit, or a short-barreled shotgun may be sentenced to imprisonment for not more than five years or to payment of a fine of not more than $10,000, or both.
(2) chief executive officers of correctional facilities and other personnel thereof authorized by them and persons in charge of other institutions for the retention of persons convicted or accused of crime, for use in the course of their duties;
(3) persons possessing PreviousmachineNext guns or short-barreled shotguns which, although designed as weapons, have been determined by the superintendent of the Bureau of Criminal Apprehension or the superintendent's delegate by reason of the date of manufacture, value, design or other characteristics to be primarily collector's items, relics, museum pieces or objects of curiosity, ornaments or keepsakes, and are not likely to be used as weapons;
(5) dealers and manufacturers who are federally licensed to buy and sell, or manufacture PreviousmachineNext guns or short-barreled shotguns and who either use the PreviousmachineNext guns or short-barreled shotguns in peace officer training under courses approved by the Board of Peace Officer Standards and Training, or are engaged in the sale of PreviousmachineNext guns or short-barreled shotguns to federal and state agencies or political subdivisions; and
(a) A person owning or possessing a PreviousmachineNext PreviousgunNext or short-barreled shotgun as authorized by subdivision 3, clause (1), (2), (3), or (4) shall, within ten days after acquiring such ownership or possession, file a written report with the Bureau of Criminal Apprehension, showing the person's name and address; the person's official title and position, if any; a description of the PreviousmachineNext PreviousgunNext or short-barreled shotgun sufficient to enable identification thereof; the purpose for which it is owned or possessed; and such further information as the bureau may reasonably require.
(b) A dealer or manufacturer owning or having a PreviousmachineNext PreviousgunNext or short-barreled shotgun as authorized by subdivision 3, clause (5) shall, by the tenth day of each month, file a written report with the Bureau of Criminal Apprehension showing the name and address of the dealer or manufacturer and the serial number of each PreviousmachineNext Previousgun or short-barreled shotgun acquired or manufactured during the previous month.
This section does not apply to members of the armed services of either the United States or the state of Minnesota for use in the course of their duties or to security guards employed by the Minnesota National Guard for use in accordance with applicable federal military regulations.
Next, you choose the type of condition that you want to detect. You can use conditions that check when a numeric value goes above/below a threshold (for example, Temperature is greater than 30), when a logical true/false value changes (for example, HasFault becomes True), or when a string value changes (for example, Status changes from InCompliance).
The first shows, for the five sampled instances, when the condition was detected. In the previous screenshot the instance labeled in yellow, RFX-9461367, crossed the threshold of 45 degrees four times.
The second chart show the total number of times the trigger would have fired, for all instances that Data Activator is tracking. There are two spikes, around 5am and 7am, where the alert was fired four times. These might not be from the 5 instances sampled in the other charts.
After you have created a trigger, you can test it by selecting Send me a test alert. This finds a past event for which the trigger activation is true, then send you an alert so that you can see what the alert would have looked like for that event. Note that:
Triggers are created in a 'Stopped' state. This means they're not being evaluated as data flows into the system, and won't take any actions as a result. You also need to select Start from the toolbar for Data Activator to start running the trigger and taking action.
The toolbar changes to allow you to Stop the trigger. If you make changes to the trigger (for example changing the condition it looks for), you need to select Update in the toolbar to make sure that the running trigger uses the new values.
When you delete a trigger (or Object), it can take up to 5 minutes for any back-end processing of data to complete. This means your trigger may continue to monitor data, and take actions accordingly, for a few minutes after it has been deleted.
Sometimes, you need to reuse trigger logic across multiple triggers. This is where properties come in. You can create a property that defines a reusable condition or measure, then reference that property from multiple triggers.
Once you have defined a property, you can reference it from one or more triggers, using the select card. In the following image, we reference the property we made earlier in a Package too warm trigger:

The article -us/power-bi/create-reports/service-set-data-alerts#considerations-and... describes the situation without Data Activator, I'm using Data Activator so I can set triggers/alerts on any type of visual with a measure in it.
Unfortunately it's not solved yet. I get the impression that the product is not really ready for prime time yet. Data Activator works fine with a streaming dataset, so for now I'll send the DWH data to the streaming dataset with Logic Apps and a Powershell automation runbook. This means duplication of data and extra steps, but at least that way it works.
I get no alert. I set it to email and tested it and the test email arrives. What am I doing wrong? is there a fundamental step I'm missing? I've checked the Reflex and everything seems to look OK there (to the best of my limited knowledge). It's set to 'Each Time' which I assume means 'Each time a figure goes beyond the threshold send me an email'.
Oddly, I did receive an alert that was obviously triggered by some changes I'd made, but it was only 1 and correlated with only a single time I'd changed things to hit the trigger. I received it about 3 hours after I'd made the change and I did nothing differently, but this time it took for some reason. I couldn't get it to happen again.
My main problem is that the whole process isn't intuitive, so fault finding just confuses me. Setting the alert up seems straightforward enough, but when it doesn't work...it just doesn't. I could do with a simple summary (written in crayon if possible) explaining exactly what I've set up. At least PowerAutomate has the good grace to say 'Hey, it didn't run'.
If it is working, please confirm that the "recipient" section of your action card is you. When you click "send me a test alert", the alert always goes to you, regardless of who the recipient is on on our action card.

If the recipient of the email is confirmed to be yourself, please confirm that the email address you provided belongs to the organization that owns the Fabric tenant. Also, check the maximum data throughput and maximum number of triggered operations for event stream data.Data Activator has limitations in these two areas.

And the timing difference between when the trigger was started and when the matched event was send to Data Activator will be one possible reason.
