English term or phrase: target
Could you please explain what is "target" in the sentence below:

Three-phase
voltages are required for
many relay functions
including distance elements,
directional elements, fault
locating, and establishing
fault type for front-panel
targets and event reports.

It is from a Transmission Protection System manual.

Thank you!

Explanation:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protective_relay

In a large installation of electromechanical relays, it would be difficult to determine which device originated the signal that tripped the circuit. This information is useful to operating personnel to determine the likely cause of the fault and to prevent its re-occurrence. Relays may be fitted with a "target" or "flag" unit, which is released when the relay operates, to display a distinctive colored signal when the relay has tripped.

HOW TO ANALYZE AN EVENT REPORT
This example is provided as a step-by-step tutorial on how to analyze an event report, learn
lessons, and resolve problems. Before analyzing the details of any event report, start with a basic
understanding of what happened, or what should have happened. This generally involves
reviewing the relay settings and logic, obtaining the relay history report, and gathering any other
information that may be helpful (known fault location, targets from other relays, breaker
operations, SCADA, and personnel records). Use the event report to investigate whether the
actual operation matches the expected operation.
