What is “Current Status” (IMMCurrentStatus) in ArcFM Downstream Trace?

Question

I'm trying to develop a custom downstream trace Addin for ArcGIS using .net (C#) Miner.Interop.Framework Assembly.

I'm using TraceDownstream Method from the ArcFM Desktop Developer Guide and following this example for guidance, since I'm very new in this.

By calling the Trace Downstream Function:

pElecTrace.TraceDownstream(pGN, pElecTraceSettings, pCurrentStatus,
                           179998,  ESRI.ArcGIS.Geodatabase.esriElementType.esriETJunction, 
                           Miner.Interop.SetOfPhases.None, 
                           Miner.Interop.mmDirectionInfo.establishBySourceSearch, 0,
                           ESRI.ArcGIS.Geodatabase.esriElementType.esriETEdge, 
                           iJunctionBarriers,iEdgeBarriers, false,
                           out pJunctions, out pEdges);

I get The NullReferenceException (Object reference not set to an instance of an object)

My Assumption is that it is because I have declared

IMMCurrentStatus pCurrentStatus = null;

by following the mentioned Example. And It is the only Null Element in the called function.

Now the problem is that , I don't have any idea what "Current Status" really is. Neither could I find any explanation in the Documentation as to what Current Status really is or where can I retrieve its information from.
