5.5.6.2 Add And Edit Trigger Mapping
This dialog box is used to add trigger mappings.
Source
This dropdown list allows you to specify the source of the trigger events, such as a
keyboard key [F1], for the Trigger Owner selected.
Notes: It is possible to map the same source to different owners—for example,
[F1] can be mapped to both the Imager and Non-Decoded Scanner. If so,
both devices/operations will occur simultaneously. This is not recom-
mended in most cases, especially with devices that draw a great deal of
current, such as Imagers.
It is also possible to map different sources to the same owner.
Add Source
Only existing trigger sources are shown in the Source combo-box. To add a new
source to this list, tap on the Add Source button. A dialog box pops up, allowing
you to select the keyboard key to use as a trigger source.
Trigger Type
You can enable either an Up/Down or Double Click response to a trigger press.
Normally, when a trigger (keyboard key, etc.) is pressed and released, a “trigger
down” event is sent to the “owner”–that is, the application receiving the trigger
press information followed by a “trigger up”. If Double Click is chosen in this menu,
when the trigger is pressed, released, and then pressed again, a “double-click” event
will have occurred. If a mapping with the type Up/down has also been configured
for the same source, it will only receive the first set of trigger events.
