Configuring an event trigger

After creating content and setting up pages, configure the event trigger from the Properties tab. This procedure covers adding events, choosing where they apply, and setting the serial and network ports that deliver the external signals.

2. Select or deselect View Global Element Page.

   • Adding an event to a specific page delivers the event while that page is being viewed.

3. Under the Properties tab, click . Trigger properties are displayed in the Properties tab.

4. Check Serial Port Settings and Network Port Settings.

5. To add an external event from a network or serial port, or to add a predefined internal event, click Edit… under the relevant menu. The event editor window appears.

   

6. Click Add to set up the trigger, action, and page for the event, and click Save. Event settings are now configured and the event is activated.
