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 automatic macros (see Chapter
8), such as sending ID's and courtesy beeps. Although you can't control when the automatic
macros get called, you can control what they 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 tell the controller what command you want to do when
each event occurs with command 157. If you only want it to happen some of the time, you can
just disable the event trigger with command 159. 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.
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.
