Definition: Desired direction
Environment
If an indicator is accompanied by a target value, the desired direction consists of the direction the indicator should follow from the reference value in order to reach the target. If an indicator is not accompanied by a target, the desired direction is set, implicitly or explicitly, according to the frame of reference.
