TRIGGER = EXTERNAL. In the case of the Racewell crate, a signal is sent from the crate to the FX41 when the clamping of the sheep occurs.

Note that if the override feature is used to send animals in a different direction from that indicated by FX41, then the draft statistics will not be the same as the number of animals physically drafted through each gate.
