An 'on-indication' signifies the point at which a system, device, or process transitions to an active or operational state. It denotes the initiation or activation of a function, signal, or state. Typically, an on-indication is visually, audibly, or electronically communicated, and implies readiness for use or execution. It's often the trigger point signaling a change of status, or providing proof that a device is active or in operation. It can also be used figuratively to signal readiness or an affirmative response. Understanding this indication is crucial for managing and interpreting the behavior of various mechanisms and scenarios.
