Triggers

When a trigger is defined, an icon is added to the Position Overview map when the receiver gets an Event input. This helps visualize where the receiver was when an Event occurred. For example, if the shutter button for a camera is tied to an event, a trigger places an icon on the Position Overview map in the location where the picture is taken.

The MARKxPOS logs must be configured on the receiver before they are used as Event Triggers. For information about configuring the MARKxPOS logs, refer to the OEM7 User Documentation Portal (docs.novatel.com/OEM7/Content/Logs/MARKxPOS.htm and docs.novatel.com/OEM7/Content/Commands/MARKCONTROL.htm).

The Triggers window allows you to view, add, delete and edit triggers. To open the Triggers window, click the Settings menu, select Map and then Triggers.
