Chapter 20: Event Triggers
The controller does a lot of things totally under the control of the built-in firmware which you as the
user can't change, such as turning on a PTT when a receiver goes active and hanging up the phone
when it times out. Other things are done by calling macros (see Chapter 8), such as sending ID's
and courtesy beeps. By changing how those macros are programmed, you can change what the
courtesy beeps and ID’s do. Event triggers give you even more flexibility. They allow you to
execute any of the built in commands or any of the macros whenever certain things happen. All you
have to do is use command 045 to tell the controller what command you want it to do when each
event occurs. If you only want it to happen some of the time, you can just disable the event trigger
with command 047. If you tell the event trigger to execute a macro, you may need to program the
macro to do something (see Chapter 8). You should keep track of what command you assign each
event trigger to execute, as you may need to know later. You can also recall that information with
command 046.
If you want to execute more than one command from an event trigger, make the event trigger call a
macro, then program the macro to execute each of the commands in turn. That way the event
trigger calls only a single macro and the macro takes care of calling multiple other commands.
