EventA pin of the AsteRx-i OEM through an 
inverter.  A high-to-low transition at the J7 
connector  corresponds  to  a  low-to-high 
transition as seen by the AsteRx-i OEM and 
vice versa. 

This header can for example be connected to 
the flash port of a camera (e.g. via Hot Shoe 
or  Prontor-Compur  interface),  to  allow  the 
AsteRx-i  OEM  to  time  tag  the  pictures  and 
provide  the  position  at  the  exact  time  the 
picture was taken.
