Event Triggers in Web Author Content

The event trigger function generates events after receiving signals from various sensors or devices through the serial (COM) port or network port (UDP broadcast). Player waits until it receives specific event strings that generate events through the serial port or network port. If the received string matches any predefined command string, Player moves to the predefined page. For details on the event triggers provided by Premium Author, see Using event triggers.
