==On Demand Tracking==

This functionality was added to FMX640 series devices from 01.00.05. Tracking on Demand can be activated using commands. After device receives [[FMB SMS/GPRS Commands|SMS/GPRS]] command "''  [[FMB SMS/GPRS Commands#Commands Related to Features|on_demand_trackingX]]''" where ''X'' is a number from 0 to 2.

Tracking on demand can be triggered by multiple IO Events. To enable functionality at least one activation source must be selected and an appropriate IO Event (in I/O tab) should be enabled (Low/High/Panic priority, the operand must NOT be “Monitoring”). When IO Event is generated and if the event is enabled in activation sources, tracking on demand will be started. THE new IO event will not interrupt or restart tracking on-demand until the Duration period has expired. If tracking on demand is already running, SMS/GPRS command will restart tracking on demand.

If tracking the on-demand period is lower than the normal record acquisition period, only high priority records will be created. If tracking the on-demand period is larger than the normal record acquisition period, low priority records will be created according to data acquisition configuration and high priority records will be created after configured tracking on-demand period. Some new [[Template:FMB_Device_Family_Parameter_list#Tracking_on_Demand|Tracking on Demand parameters]] are introduced in devices.

There are three available options for the activation source of tracking on demand - DIN/AIN or both (devices that support multiple DINs/AINs allow choosing which DINs/AINs to use). Note that, these inputs will work as buttons, rather than switches, and are used to trigger the functionality, the duration of tracking on demand will not be extended if the activation source status is high for a period of time.
