The TransitionVariableTypeis the base VariableTypefor Variablesthat store a Transitionthat occurred within a StateMachineas a human readable name.
The SourceTimestampfor the value specifies when the Transitionoccurred. This value may also be exposed with the TransitionTime Property.
The TransitionVariableTypeis formally defined in Table 3.

Id is a name which uniquely identifies a Transitionwithin the StateMachineType. A subtype may restrict the DataType.
Nameis a QualifiedNamewhich uniquely identifies a transition within the StateMachineType.
Number is an integer which uniquely identifies a transition within the StateMachineType.
TransitionTimespecifies when the transition occurred.
EffectiveTransitionTime specifies the time when the current state or one of its substates was entered. If, for example, a StateA is active and – while active – switches several times between its substates SubA and SubB, then the TransitionTimestays at the point in time where StateA became active whereas the EffectiveTransitionTimechanges with each change of a substate.
